I don't know if anyone remembers, but I was talking about getting into day trading a few months back and, well...it didn't work out. When I was playing with the demo, it was pretty easy to make risky moves because it's fake money, but once your real money is on the line, it's completely different. I started about a month ago and I did make a bit of a profit overall, but I don't think I can do it for a living. The stress that I experienced when I thought the chart will go one way, and it goes the other was monumental. You have to have serious self control to do this kind of thing.
Anyway, before day trading was recommended to me, I thought of getting some kind of job that involves driving, and I'm back to it now. It seems that the most popular job offers that require driving are courier jobs. I first wanted to try and get a job for a UPS-type company as a delivery driver, but there aren't many job offers and I heard it isn't very easy to get that kind of job without connections. I then went on Kijiji and saw that there are quite a few courier jobs that require the use of your own car and you get paid per delivery.
A friend of my brother was doing the same thing (delivering pharmaceutical products in his own car) and said he was making pretty good money (he quit his previous job as a unionized painter). He offered me a job about a year ago, but then I was still thinking about getting into the HVAC field (I spent 3 years in college and got 2 diplomas in HVAC, but couldn't pass the gas 2 license test). I asked my brother to contact him again to see if he has any job offerings; if he doesn't then I'm just gonna try to get one of those job offerings from Kijiji.
I'm going after this kind of job because I just like driving and why not get paid for doing something you like? I've always maintained that I would like a lower-paying job that I enjoy doing rather than a higher-paying job that I hate.
