New to WSO. Transitioning from Advertising.

Hey everyone! I joined WSO b/c I was doing a search for a company and saw forum posts about it. I'm new to the financial world but have had a lot of interest. Unfortunately I have little to zero experience other than investing for a long time and recently started swing trading on my own. I'm always interested in learning new stuff so I figured what the hell, lets join WSO and scour the site for information. I've gone to school for computers and advertising and now I'm interested in pursuing a path in trading. Probably doesn't look that great but I'd rather go for something I'm interested in. And as always its unfortunate that you need experience for a position but no one really gives you the experience anyway. lol. But I'll be looking through the site to find any tips or tricks and pick everyones brains.

So Thanks in advance ;)
