In my opinion, you need to learn something of trading and start small. You can learn trading, doing paper trading, that is without using actual money, to understand the market movements. Do start trading part time with a job to avoid pressure. When, you are confident, and then start full time trading. However, part-time is better as you have two incomes (trading & salary).
The beginning is always a good place to start. When you believe you are finished with your journey try to make sure you are at your final destination.
