Trading is one option for those who are seeking a stable job. Whatever people are saying about this whether it is a job or not, what is important is that it gives us a chance. In fact, traders also exert effort and time doing this just like we are employed. It is not different from other forms of jobs but it is special in the way that it involves high risk and no earning assurance. Although we can possibly earn huge amounts but also, the potential of losing our money is big. That is why many never find it the best option, only risk-takers choose this.
some people equates job to working time constraint, for example, many also don't take freelancer seriously although they actually do something, being productive and earn money, but many don't consider it real job because the time is flexible and the earning is uncertain.
this is how mindset affects how people judge each other, if the norm is working 9-5 then people will consider 9-5 works as a real job and disregard the other.
to be honest, in my opinion, activities that spends your effort in turn of getting profit I think is always a job, like trading, you analyze market almost 24/7 there's definitely so much effort going on, but some people ignore it, only when we are making profit then they see we are doing something with trading, even though the effort to be a profitable trader isn't a small effort.
it'd be great if authority considers whatever job people are doing outside of the traditional ones as a job somehow.
