ME

My name is Colton, and I'm currently only a senior in high school. My role model is Peter Schiff, and I love Capitalism. My favorite book is current Economics in One lesson by Henry Hazlitt; a genius book by a genius of economics. I'm trying to find ways to get experience by volunteering at banks, and financial institutions. If anyone has ideas to help with that, that'd be great to read. I love the language of finance. I'm independently studying for the AP Macro/Micro economic exams because no one offers it at my school.

Shouldn't you be getting laid and stuff?

I'm normally an advocate of starting young and getting a head start, but judging by OP's post I'm going to have to agree with UFO...

Good start...Take a breath though. You're only young once. Cold call local financial firms in your city and see if you can volunteer after high school before enrolling in undergrad. Start with smaller shops that are less mechanical in interns that they take.

I think you should focus more on the language of English.

Also, remove your real name and picture, and use the search function a little.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for freedom of thought which they seldom use.
 

I don't advise you follow my path of "hey I graduated college and am bored. I'll try and get a job at a HF" Trust me, it rarely works. I use rarely because it worked for me. But that might be the only time ever.

You're probably right.
