Junior Trader or High Frequency Trader

Hi all,

I have a semester left before I graduate as a finance major at a non-target school. I recently discovered the junior trader and high-frequency trader roles and it has caught my interest as it seems like a role that I would be interested in. As a finance major, what are some ways I can break into this industry?
