When I was in the same situation, I compiled a list of all high-paying fields, and tried to see if I liked any of them enough to go all in. Law: definitely no. Medicine: maybe, but too much competition and strain. Finance: no, but maybe there's something I can learn to love given my skills and inclinations... Yes, electronic trading!

So I went all-in into trading technology, and was happy enough and well-paid ever since.



HFT? Don't you need a PhD for that?
