Trading - Student interested in trading

I am a student in College am I am really interested in trading. Since I live in Texas my Network in the Finance industry is limited. I was wondering where to start? How do I practice trading or learning how to trade properly, where I will have an idea of what most of the stuff is before i walk in for an internship/job? Also would buying a nice setup like computer with trading program/software possibly help?

 

Well I can't think of a better answer than that link..... looks like you came to the right place.

Please don't make me talk to you like an asshole...
 

Thanks for the reply, Im actually involved in the energy club at my school and that is one of the main industries I have been looking at..... so should be much help too me.
