College is a useful training ground both socially and educationally.
Having come from a family of collegians, I dragged myself thru 5 years of
college, only to graduate and immediately change careers from my training.
However, I would not suggest that you quit school. Mothers and fathers
everwhere would be up in arms.
You could consider using a one quarter break, night classes or other
alternatives to quitting.
You could also work your class schedule around market hours.
I did this when I was in school (back in the dark ages)
Then if all goes well, you will have both a college degree and unlike most
graduates, walk out of school with more money that when you began.
But, you are now an adult now. (Reality strikes)
Your decision will need to serve you well, not anyone else.
Thanks

Let me pose a question to the forum...
I am 20 yrs old, been investing/trading successfully since 1994, licensed
stockbroker for a year and a half, sophomore in college and have a 120K
portfolio. I read various magazines and newspapers, i.e. IBD, Barrons, WSJ,
TA of Stks & Comm., etc. etc. and I have developed successful trading ideas
of my own that I have tried to put into use. My problem is this: At school
(economics major) I feel as if I am not learning anything that will improve
my
trading. I anticipate that after school is completed I will trade my
account
full-time. I have also noticed that the best opportunities often surface
when
I am in class when I am unable to act upon it. Is it worth my while to
complete school, with all the irrelevant subjects, and sacrifice any trading
opportunities, or should I trade full-time, knowing that it is probably what
I
am going to do after graduation?
