People often struggle with this question because they feel compelled to justify why they chose another industry over trading. However, it's important to understand that it might not have been a deliberate choice in the first place. You can address this by explaining your journey:

"I didn't know about the trading industry at the time. My passion for numbers naturally led me to the engineering field. During my university years, I was deeply engaged in my studies and didn't have any exposure to the trading industry. I was simply focused on what I enjoyed—working with numbers. However, once I began my career in engineering, I realized that the pace of the industry was slower than I expected. This prompted me to explore other fields where I could continue working with numbers but in a faster-paced environment with a shorter feedback loop. That's when I became interested in trading."
