Quote from rateesquad:
Well I daytrade my dads account because he lets me once in a while only with his strategy thou, but dont u think there is at least one firm that needs an intern or how they say coffee-maker.

1. Read, Study & Learn as much as you can about Trading, (Support & Resistance, Moving Average Studies, different Trading Methodologies, Stocks, Options, Mini's, Commodities, etc.-whatever works for you, there's a plethora of info on this site alone) use this time to really hone your skills.
2. Practice Simulation trading of your own account so that at 18, you will have a proven methodology in place with positive expectation and enough experience under your belt so you can trade your own money while in college.
3. Do the work, and put together a good system and by the time you graduate, (or perhaps a few years afterwards), you won't be looking for a job from other people ... they will be coming to you asking you to manager their money.
