The best advice on this topic, in my opinion, comes from 2 books:How to win friends and influence peopleNever eat aloneI am also looking for brokerages to work with or even experienced shadow / intern for to gain experience and additional knowledge.

Any advice on what you would do in my shoes?

My first piece of advice is to find a market with what you are looking for
