He is only 17, therefore it is basically way to early for you to be asking any of these questions.
There is no reason to major in finance. For trading jobs people who majored in the hard sciences and engineering are highly sought after.
Good schools? Same as they are for anything. If you can get into Harvard, you should go.
Sorry for the quick answers, but I'm off to bed soon.

If he really wants to be a trader, the best undergraduate majors are mathematics, hard sciences, computer science and engineering. Trading is about math, not about business.
