What’s the best route to become a trader

Hello guys I have been receiving the answers to all my questions from WSO and I finally have the courage to ask my question because I don’t know any other traders. I have been trading futures since 14 because this really is my dream so I am right in the process of obtaining my associates then bachelors in economics and physics.

1) I just wanted to figure out what is the best route I should take to become a portfolio manager?

2) I was interested in trying to go work with t3 for 2-3 years and trade the company capitol while trying to intern but will that help me become a senior analyst or will I still have to become a jr analyst?

I apologize if there are any questions that may sound confusing however I just would like more information on how to approach the process correctly. Please if you have any other suggestions or know anything about going from prop trading to becoming a portfolio manager or a senior trader let me know.

Thank you
