Thanks about the technician job. That would be a fun thing to do since I love reading charts. For the record, I'm 19 and future plans are to move to a popular trading city and work at a fund or a big bank so I can trade.
I would STRONGLY recommend you start building a portfolio now then. Keep detailed notes, with annotated charts and print them on nice paper and start creating a binder of your work. You want to walk into an interview at the bank or hedgie and say 'I've been conducting market analysis since I was 19, here's my work, all of which is detailed out for you. While I know I have a lot to learn, I wanted to provide you an example of how serious I am about the markets and in turn, working for your firm.'

You think anyone else (esp younger candidates) would have a portfolio of their work since they were 19? As long as you aren't going up against me, I think you'd have a good shot at standing out. :tongue: And that's all the interview is about - standing out.
