How common do you think it is to be trading and furthermore being profitable these days?

For some context, I'm mid 30s working in an office job (engineering). I work with a lot of younger folks and it feels odd feeling like I'm one of the few people in the office who actively trades, and is profitable (I sell options for the most part).

Do you think most people are actively trading? Is it still "impressive" to be profitable these days?

Personally I think that a lot of people likely have retirement contributions but don't actively trade the markets. It's odd to me because there's some really smart people out there that are relying solely on their W-2 for income meanwhile I'm trading during the workday with minimal effort.

Just curious what the perception is these days. I don't find it particularly impressive to be profitable but then again, I've been building up my portfolio allowing me to take larger positions which net better premiums.
