Should I give up my IT career to become a day trader for myself?

Should I give up my short IT career and become a stockbroker for myself? I love investing and use every chance I get to learn more about it. Day trading among others seem like a reasonable way to make a living if you do your homework and invest wisely. Need some advice here…should I do it? I’m fairly young, 23 years old.

Day trading is a fast way to lose $50,000.
That’s assuming you have that much to start with.
