@Lenny Smith you can make a killing day trading. You can also lose everything, which is why money management and risk management are the most crucial elements of successful day trading and more importantly those are why nearly all day traders fail.
I personally say if your job makes you miserable you better quit, you got one life and running around wasting it doing **** you hate is a bad idea.
I own some contracting businesses, and day trade everyday. Start a paper account with Think or Swim and learn all the terminology and how to use the platform, place bracket orders, etc. Then after about 2 weeks of that and deep understanding of charts and risk management learning, developing a plan, fund an account with 1000 dollars. And trade real money.
Treat this as a business and mever risk more than 10$ on your first few months of trades. If you develop a plan and learn deeply, and follow that plan every single trade, you will be successful.
