We're Ausfags, and domestic stocks only; I've not asked her about it specifically because I don't want to be one of those annoying people who hears of trading success and harasses friends/relatives for investment advice.

Oh, I hadn't considered I was being memed.
Thanks again for the recommendations.

Cool, I'm happy to get my hands dirty. I'm a hands-on kind of learner, but there's probably some required reading.
But by "2 MSFT, 2 V, 3 AMD" do you mean like actual share volume? I opened an account with my bank and they only let me trade in increments of 100x.

Optometry. Because it makes money -and- because I'm interested. And yes, it costs a lot to study (already got 30k in student debt, which will be closer to 70k when I'm finished).
Thing is, the job market is cutthroat and it's only going to get worse because there's too many jobseekers for every position. From what I've heard HR departments these days basically throw darts to find applicants to interview. Healthcare is one of few stable vocations, and Optom is the best option for someone like me that's too autistic to be a doctor or nurse.

By the way, a piece of advice I was given (I don't know if this will be useful to you guys, but I figure I should maybe try and give something back as thanks) is to invest in pet care/beauty, because there's a growing population of female millenials without the social/financial capital to have children of their own that are pushing the misplaced affection onto their pets. All these new Baby characters (Baby Yoda, Mr Peanut, Boss Baby, that kind of thing) are supposedly an attempt at capitalising on the same concept.
