Question: How to become a (stock) trader? I would like to know how to become a stock trader. Do i need to major in finance or business? I'm in near completion of a Computer Science degree.

Answer: Depends.  Do you want to trade stocks for yourself or be a stock broker and trade for other people?  \nFor yourself - http://www.etrade.com\nIf you want to be a professional you will need to get your Series 7 license.  In order to even take the test you will need to get sponsored by a financial company.  Talk to a bank or financial planning firm.
