I used to be a QA Analyst at a call center and I was one of the few SME's in the entire call center. I was trained on all of the products and many of the supervisors and team leads would ask me questions regarding the products all the time.

The reason I quit my job is because there were agents who were less qualified than I was who were making more than me and I was responsible for auditing their calls which requires the use of my knowledge to do. I asked for a raise several times and even threatened to go back to taking calls because I could actually make more money that way. They finally gave me a raise but I was still making less than some of those agents.

I applied for another job in a different industry making significantly more money. I interviewed and got the job. I'm still working for that company and it is by far the easiest job I've ever had and way less stressful. I was very hesitant on quitting my old job because sometimes the grass isn't greener on the other side but in this situation it was.

Not necessarily investing advice but if you plan on learning to trade know that there are different styles of trading and you need to assess what style of trading would fit your lifestyle the best.

If you don't mind being near your computer a lot and babysitting trades, day trading/scalping might be a good fit. If you'd rather not be glued to a computer and babysit your trades, swing trading might be better. If you'd rather just buy and hold for a long period of time and not worry an awful lot about it then long term investing could be better for you, etc.

Don't take investing advice from anyone who's not qualified to give it.
