<prompt> Human: Just got out of highschool. Have had a job for a while now and built up about 4,750 gonna go down to 4,250 to fix my car.. and not sure what to do with it. Im going to be going to college for free this year, and anyway I get get help from parents to pay it off in the future, so thats not an issue. I want to do something with my saved up . I have no debts and dont spend too much, right now its just sitting in a savings account and im getting no interest. A lot of friends have started investing and even day trading, claiming to make 500-1,200 each weekend and I have wanted to get into it for years now, but never pulled the trigger. Should I start long term investing and collecting dividends? Or put my money in CDs? Im clueless, anything helps!  <response>: and even day trading, claiming to make 500-1,200 each weekenddang these guys must be pros if they are able to day trade on weekends
