16 and want to be a trader!

Hello, I am sorry about offtopic, but I also want to clear some education things.
I am 18 years old and I need to choose what to do after High school (5 months left).
I have been trading since 14. Started
in my country stock exchange, then went to other European exchanges, but now (about half year) I am trading in USA.
I have been thinking about two variants:
1) go studying finances, then try to get job in investments or trading. But I know (I hope I am wrong) I would
have little chance to become financial independent sooner then I die. And a lot of my life time will be some monkey business hoping about time
when I maybe would get golden parashoot :D .
2) Next variant is studying in military academy in my country or in other European state (also there are possibilities to study in USA academies), get rank and arrange my self and my mind. But also this variant
could not grant freedom, but I hope this can later help in my trading.
I would not ask here this question, but my parents are negatively mooded about my choices, they say I need to become engineer. :D
Thanks a lot, and I wish you all great profits!
P.S if there are some understandable sentences I will try to explain them other way. :D
 
You can predict the course of an asteroid but not the irrational behavior of humans, so maths are definitely not the ultimate key to be a successful trader.

One last suggestion. This is risky, but it will make you stand out if you do it right. Take the time to write a letter expressing your interest in a job with a specific company (you decide which bank or company), or you may want to compose a good letter and send it to several companies. Address it to the attention of the president of that company (send a copy to the human resources department). Let him know of your interest and your goal, and advise him that in the future you will contact him again when you are qualified to ask for a job. If by chance that man is still president when you are ready, he will probably remember you. If your record in school is a good one, this is the type of thing that may give you an advantage over others.

I think being in the military is an excellent way to groom yourself to be a trader.....too bad shit is so fucked up these days. But you just learn stuff that makes you do what you have to do to succeed. It's hard to explain. Military academy in theory will offer some of these benefits...is this actual military, or just military style academy, if that makes sense? Great choice in my opinion, but your mileage may vary. Best of luck. in whatever you do

Ah, I think you are directing your post to the wrong person. I am a retired professional and unfortunately I am far from 16 years old. while I appreciate your generous advice, it is probably not appropriate for me.

For those unfamiliar with Ion Tiriac, he was a Romanian tennis pro who upon retirement became a promotor of young tennis stars. Mr. Tiriac has enjoyed much success in business, however there is significant controversy about his activities as can be seen in the following link...

Personally this is not the path I would take, but I leave all that to others.

I'm surprised that guy didn't turn up face down in his pool or something.
