Trading workaround for compliance?

Good morning. To give some context to my question, I am currently a sophomore at a non reach school and will do a wealth management internship during this coming summer. While I was in highschool I used my free time to learn forex trading and I currently have a style that is short term (maintain positions for at most 3 days) but since I am in college I want to be able to get opportunities in both wealth management and Investment banking. I want one of those 2 options to be a backup incase that trading (god forbid) ends up not working for me in the future. Knowing that banks have restrictions on trading accounts, is there a workaround that somebody has done to avoid issues with trading accounts? Should I pause trading during my internships and if I get a fulltime job offer? Would you guys think that I should work for 2 years if I get an offer and then leave banking to continue trading? To what extent is family included in the restrictions on banking employees? If I live in a different house than my parents, are they included on the restrictions as well? I dont want to throw my efforts in school down the drain as well.


Thank you in advanced.
