Greetings from Toronto

I'm a 22 year old whose just discovered the world of trading in 2014-2015. I am not in school because I dropped out due to discovering the world of business and that journey unleash the ambition inside of me. (I am a Leo after all)

Anyway, too bad I wasted 4 years of my life looking around. Better late than never.

I am sure we all have the same goal, and that is to become the best trader in the world and have our names headlined in history with the likes of Tudor Jones, Soros, Buffet, etc.

I understand that most of those guys are still winning the game to this day (probably due to time in the game) and the hot hedges right now are Quants. Which is the better route for market analysis for job market as well as trading on your own? Marco Economics or Quant Finance?

Where do I start? Trading on my own or school? Both!?

I'm sure I sound naive and ignorant. So please forgive me.
