Advice for a youngster?!

A Top Priority: Personal Mentor (s).

Try to develop personal relationships with a traders who win right now and have a track record.

This does not mean buying advice from the many scam/used to win/never won gurus-for-hire.

What I am saying can be done alongside most other good ideas.

Yeah it is. But I’m in the construction end of it/ the actual building it. Not the development. Although I still do well. Made over 100k last year with OT. But very tough work and working conditions in the Midwest.

100k is a ridiculous salary for a 26 year old without a degree. Doesnt indicate tough working conditions.

Why don't you interview people with degrees in finance. For what positions? Who do you hire?

"Trainee traders" ... occasionally - not at the moment. Mostly recent graduates, typically aged around 23, maybe a little older.

The general policy is that we strongly prefer what we see as "more academically rigorous" (and less "vocationally intended/targeted") degrees, almost regardless of precise subject. Just our perspective, and probably based on previous experiences, I'd guess.

I started as a "trader" rather than as a "trainee trader" myself, already having quite a bit of experience under my belt. (My first degree was in HPS - "history & philosophy of science".)

I haven't been here long enough to comment in any more detail than that and probably wouldn't be allowed to, anyway.
