21 and need advice

i’ve been trading for over 7 years by myself, self taught, working for prop firms, Just has been constant up and down really not getting consistent results how I would like and I want to become “legit” and go to school, etc. in the hopes of landing a job as a proprietary trader at a HF and trade the markets daily.

Just coming on here to ask if anyone has advice on which routes to take also just to add I never went to college after graduating so I’m a couple yrs behind and will probably plan to go to a community college is there still any advice you guys could offer ? i’m open to any mentors or any advice anyone has. Thanks
