Trading Is Great, but Perhaps It's Too Much Fun?

i was a trader back when at the end of the night you would export your trading blotter to an excell spread sheet. And we used to jokingly call it sneaker net. We'd walk it into the head trader's office, and on tuesdays, when the trading day was over, the quote, server would be taken off line and it would become a quake server. i recognized the same buzz, the same high plain quake that i got trading. So i decided maybe i should be an analyst, strategist, portfolio manager, not a trader. 20 years later, how have things tange for you?
