xpost from r/investing, Eager 16 year old


Hi, I'm wandering if there are any institutions that deal with investing/trading in or our around Atlanta. I have long had an interest in trading and the stock market and recently have started diving deep into it, keeping up with the news, monitoring r/business, r/stockmarket, and r/investing. I am also study up on terms and meanings through Investopedia. I am also using their stock market simulator to get my feet wet. But I want to take it one step further. Maybe an internship, unpaid or paid, with a company that deals with this kind of stuff. A mentor even. My parents don't really have any knowledge about stocks, and there is no way they will let me open up a junior account through Etrade or any other online brokers. So any suggestions? Any of you that work in this industry around Atlanta and would be willing to take in a student per say. This is just a field I have a lot of interest in and a job I could see myself doing, but I need to learn more than just reading books and playing simulators. Sorry if this sounds like a rant, I'm just a high school kid that up until now had no idea what I was going to do with life and I think I might have an answer. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated! Also, do any of the Wall Street firms take in any high school students? My family and I moved to Atlanta from Queens, New York, and if there was any way of getting a internship up there, I could very well stay with the tons of family we have in the Queens to try to attend it.
