South Americans in traiding company monsters

Hi, Im new to this site and actually not even finished school (university) yet, but Im focused on acquiring
the right set of abilities beforehand so when the opportunity presents itself I won't be left out. Now the career Im studying is quite extensive but not very specific, given the fact that I already know I want to get into physical traiding, which books would you recommend to get started with?
Thanks!

Is there a product you are particularly interested in trading? In college it was valuable for me to read books that provided the history of the industry. I read Metal Men, King of Oil, and The Prize in college. That developed my interest in trading physical. I then read Merchants of Grain. That steered me towards ags.

having a feel for the history of the industry will help you understand what recruiters are looking for. from there you can dive into trading knowledge. Even still, no one expects someone out of college to have any understanding of physical trading.

You will see in these books that the industry is learned from the ground up. So don't worry about knowing "technicals", rather while in college you should learn the culture of the industry.
