What are the ways to improve practical skills in investing and trading for Ukrainian schoolboy?

Are there any ways to improve practical skills in finance (like deep understanding of markets, mastered by top financiers) for Ukrainian student. I don’t want to spend my young years for such shit as reading Robert Kiyosaki or watching videos on how to be more productive, which would’t push me further that my peers in collage years. In oppose to it I want to develop some basic skills that would be useful for me (or make me unique) when I will be working in finance and which I will be developing through my entire live. Because of my 17 years old and lack of 20,000 dollars I couldn’t open an account in Nyse or Nasdaq. If you're not genius, you can succeed by hard work from early ages, right?

P.S Sorry for my bad English if it is so
