And you need to remember that building a trader's mentality takes a long time, knowledge and understanding only affects a little in terms of cycological, encouragement of fear and greed will be greater at the beginning of being a trader, you still need a lot of time to educate your mentality friend.
I don't think you have to immediately switch professions, you should do it slowly with a small margin so you understand how you should be against your market fluctuations and feelings, if you feel able to control yourself well then the right decision for you to increase your time in trading.
