Best advice, stay out of it until you are old enough to:
a) have tons of common sense and life expereince
b) and lots of money so that it's not ever an issue
Once you have these things, then the rest just takes care of itself. It's not a 'hobby' - it's a lifestyle choice and should not be taken lightly - cuz there's no going back...
This board is not here to facilitate or entice people into this lifestyle; just to share info and keep the scammers at bay.
IF you could ask your Dad about this subject, this is what I hope he'd tell you..!!
