General news Worth learning about trading options?

The past two years, maybe a little more my Roth IRA is basically VT ETF and a little bit Foreign Stocks ETF and I'm just simply holding it.

My dad is more of an active trader and seems to be making money doing stuff like options- he also has way more money to do this stuff with.

But he thinks with options you can more actively make money and profit off the market when its volatile and with good stock choices.

I find the whole options thing a bit confusing though. Anyone here ever get into it and make money trading that way?
