Portfolio Management Job

Why did I choose a portfolio management as my long-term financial professional career in the first place?

I think it boils down to three reasons:

1. Intellectually Stimulating
• Portfolio Management is a complicated game of the theory and practice and is still evolving. You have to keep learning theories first and then understand realities by continuously adjusting differences between theories and realities. It never ends and you can't be 100% sure no matter how you spent time. Dynamics in markets always overwhelm us.
2. Global Profession
• The world economies are more and more connected and money/labors are moving around the world. You're required to understand other countries/regions.
3. Fair Competition
• Portfolio Management is competitive, but a fair game in the long run. You cannot survive in the industry from the long-term perspective unless you understand laws of the competition and cope with changes. Darwin's theory works here.

What do you think about it? Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
