Advice - I want to Day Trade / Career

I have had neurosurgeon and plastic surgeons through the years to mentor who said day trading and scalping is far harder than their fields, I no longer mentor either. Gone on to even more difficult areas of trading. Listen kid, why waste you time teaching others for a few thousand bucks when you can build automation to do for you, what you can charge a classful of dreamers, you can make in one trade, screw that, then spend more time figuring out how to keep drawdowns under 3%. Anyone who says they can trade and teach for thousands in few days, have them show you monthly statements for three years. Learning to day trade is tougher than getting a degree from Brown or Harvard. Make sure you get a degree in finance and do that Intern like another poster recommended. Getting tougher to do manually as humans can't ever be as fast as computers. When you do have an edge at home is learning charting, many quants lack charting skills. And the BIG money is long term is different way, you buy stocks to hedge your options.

Another house had used penny stock certs to wallpaper a room as constant reminder of what not to trade.

"You need to apply your strategy to fully funded account. You'll realize it'll take on a totally different persona when real money is put at risk."

Perhaps this was true when I began trading in 1997. It is no longer true today.

If you say so. Then you can fund paper traders with no skin the game. Fairly sure no sane investor would but you can tho, don't let anyone stop you. We need individuals like you in the game and miss leading others. Someone's got to be on the other side...
