So when my grandfather became paralyzed (3 months ago) I saw it everything more clearly. I want to help people and do my best.
I'm 20 years old. I decided to change my life 3 months ago. I like computers and finance world since my childhood. So 3 months ago I started to learn Python and Math. And I love it! I am so passionate about it now. I applied for CS degree at the most prestigious university in my country and I got the opportunity to study there.
I am very interested in machine learning and finance world. I would like to do quantitative research and beat that mean sharks at Wall Street. I have no bad intentions and I don't see any value in buying expensive things. My dream is to donate research from my earnings.
I have got the passion. I just need the direction. There is so much things to learn. What is the most important thing in this field? Should I focus to mathematics first and then start to learn programming?
What market should I choose? I am familiar with Futures and Forex. Forex seems to be very dangerous but more accesible for students (funding requirements).
Do I need to know more then this for start?
