It's about self-reward. What will reward you more: the challenges of day trading, arbitrage, and technical investing or the challenges of building a business, building a team, and making a profit? And think about the larger picture (i.e. lifestyle, living location, financial security).

I don't know what's the answer, although I will tell you this: trading and entrepreneurship are not mutually exclusive. ThinkorSwim is a great example of a group of entrepreneurs who knew trading and built a great business in Chicago.
