<p>anyone here trade while in college or before college? how does that help you in finding a job or with your career? </p>
<p>thoughts about trading?</p>
<p>i was trading in college with a 10k portfolio. chump change, but I was in college paying college tuition (mostly through scholarships, which is how I was able to save and invest money in the first place).</p>
<p>I was getting ~15% return on my investments, which is pretty good. I incorporated my venture under my name, and I can officially say I “run an investment business”. I have a few friends and family members also involved. On my resume, I can describe it as me “managing private investment portfolios”, “consulting financial advice to clients”, etc. </p>
<p>At the very least, it shows you have money sense and initiative.</p>
