ASL, I love that you are seeking to learn. Curiosity is an elixir of life that keeps people young at heart. The great news is that you live in the age of the internet. You can seek the counsel of the wisest people without even leaving your living room chair! In fact I advise most people not to go to college. Save the 200,000 dollar tuition - invest some of the money in stocks, put a down payment on some real estate and travel. Seek mentors both virtual and physical.

For learning investing, just do a Google search on "learn to invest". As with everything, some advise is not so good, but some is awesome. For example, Ameritrade has great beginners tutorial instruction. They do this hoping you become an Ameritrade client, but you don't have to. It's not quid pro quo. I'm not advocating Ameritrade; just using them as one example from a million sources. There are many great investing tutorial sites online.

I started using some of these sites for fun years ago. I even started the process of taking my Series 65 to become a licensed investment advisor, but I eventually decided not to pursue that direction. My point is that I gained much of that knowledge simply from learning on the internet.

You have some of the world's best teachers at your computer just waiting to share their secrets with you.....
