Invest, how do I go about doing this? For instance, do I have to get someone to invest for me, or could I do it myself? Also, when one is investing, do they choose something very popular with consumers, and then invest in that stock? For instance, I know that cell phones are very popular among people of all ages, especially us college students. So, would I just choose a cell phone company...like Sprint, and then contact them, or a stock broker? I know I am probably way off base, but all these get out of debt books, recommend investing in something...but the way it's explained is confusing. My question would probably take forever to answer, so if anyone could recommend good books or websites that I could learn the process from, then i'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Try this site as a first step. We had a project for CS, and it was trading stocks, making a spreadsheet, yada yada. The instructor suggested this as a really good reference. It's Free.

Open a brokerage account at TD Ameritrade with at least $2,000.00 and then you can drop me a line.
I will help you for FREE to buy Sprint Nextel or whatever.

I'd get a professional. If you choose to go it alone, try a website such as MotleyFool.com for advice.
