I'll give you the same advice I just gave a guy in your shoes that just PMed me --> Find a mentor. Somehow, someway, at any firm, in any city, find a guy who knows what he is doing and buy him Starbucks every morning, wash his car, buy him lunch, whatever, to get the opportunity to sit next to him and learn. More than money, you need knowledge.
Don't fall into the seminar or classes trap, you need to learn from watching someone that knows how to trade. You need to hit the pavement and hustle and make it happen, how you do it falls on you. Any firm, any product from futures, currencies, stock, anything so long as there is a very successful guy you can leech trading knowledge from. Will not come easy, but it is possible if you want it bad enough, I did it many years ago, and have many successful friends who did the same.
Once you have the skills, the money will come.
