Where should a young guy like me start?

I’m going into my second year of college as a business student. Each year I’m becoming more and more interested in the stock market and trading but where do I start. Of course, I’m your typical broke college student. I have absolutely no money right now but I will have a job and will continue to have a job in the future. I research a lot on the subject of trading and I am also involved in a virtual trading contest online to learn the terms and trends but now I want it to be reality. Where do I start? Find a broker they say, but with little money how do I do that, I understand I need to save but is there no other way to start from scratch? Are the online trades really a good start? I need a mentor! Short-term trading or Long-term trading … maybe both? Are there any other alternatives I should research besides Yahoo finance or MSN money? Anything else you think I should know, feel free to let me know!

What kind of a job would one look for if VERY interested and enjoys trading stocks/options?

Hi,
My interest in stock and options trading has grown in the last year or so, my question is what kind of a job or career can I look in to if I enjoy following the stock market and trading stock/options? I do not have much experience in this field other than reading books and trading here and there…
I truly enjoy technical analysis and trading, where do I start if I want this to be my career?
—What companies can I work for to learn and earn an income? Most importantly learn!!!
—What position can I get being inexperienced?
basically where do I start?
Thank You

How has options-trading affected the workings of a stock-only market?

Has (Does?) options-trading (futures) affected the stock market? Is there any positive or negative impact of trading options directly or indirectly on the trading of stocks?

Not that I’m not trying to understand what is options trading – I am trying to find out if there has been any study on the impact of futures trading on a stock market on a general scale.
