DislikedHi Atomic Sheep,
If you link your demo account to the FF trade explorer, you can make it private if you wish, it has all the bits to analyse your performance the chart that plots your trades and is especially useful as you should make it your mission to get that equity curve going up nice and steady, I found this helped me focus more because you can plainly see how your doing, may be worth a try?

Technical Analysis Fallacy
He's a very funny guy! Also, I thought I saw the word erotic in one of your previous posts referring to aud lol 
ANGER.
yes the ego.
anger management is difficult and is different to manage.
When i angry, i mostly just go sleep. These days i get cranky a lot.
thats why i sleep more.

ok try listen to this recordings over and over until you get fedup of it.

I found a really nice video that rings with mindset, note the focus on attachment, change, feeling for and removing scorpions, understanding the true reasons for motives.
Good for you graduating early, eager to hit the job market huh? I wouldn't consider having free time and lots of hobbies as being poor. If you have the skills and drive, you'll fix that right up. I agree that IB may not be for everyone, however, if your friend likes analytic, then you needn't worry too much about him.
There is a stigma that people in IB are drug using angry people. While some are this way, there are a handful of clean and professional men/women that need not subscribe to this behavior. Plus, people in politics, sports, music, art are on drugs occasionally, so you can't escape this scorpion just by avoiding a certain field. Best defense is to build up good mindset so you won't become addicted.
Also, who mandated that IB gets you lots of money, ferrari, glory? Don't get too attached to that idea because I don't see a law that says everyone Ibanker gets what he thinks he deserves. Look at the massive layoffs! I bet someone out there is complaining he doesn't get paid enough for the business he's in. Maybe he should look at the supply and demand curve for Ibankers...
At this point, I would worry less about what job you might want, and more about having a job first. You'll gain some experience and that's good for your resume should you decide to change your course. That said, a degree in baking and financial analysis can be used in many ways, not just rigid PE, Ibanking ect. For example, you could work as a buy side/sell side analyst? The hours are shorter, and the skill sets are similar provided your financial analysis major introduced you to accounting and general security selection. I would talk to your guidance counselor or career center if your university as one.
Also, don't mention offing yourself, it's not even funny. This should never be an option, just re-align your job and life priorities and get back into flow.

Don't worry too much and over analyse how things might be imho. Live the moment and do the right things to the best of your abilities.
Wish you peace and success for your future endeavours

Hi mijamoto
sounds to me like your just worried about fear of change, we all worry about 'fear of the unknown', its normal for you to worry about this my daughter will be finishing her law degree next year and she is already starting to worry about it all, its a big step into the real world, but do not worry you will be able to adjust it all after a while to suit your needs, sounds like you already realise there is a balance to be had so your already some way there, trouble is at 'uni' the balance seems to be way tilted in favour of fun and who wants to give all that up at your age.
Reality is always a much softer landing than your mind makes you believe it will be.
just enjoy it all
Regards
Phil.

Well, God's never given me any personal advice so I can't comment on that. I was just using the words as a common phrase rather than a plea to believe everything I say
