Betterment is a great place to get started as there are no account minimums. You can start with $.01 if that is what you have. Betterment invests your money in a diverse mix of ETFs. Investors can choose their stock/bond ratio in increments of 10%; Betterment determines the portfolio of the stocks and bonds.

The ETF costs are rock bottom. Betterment charges an additional layer of fees, but it's pretty reasonable. Betterment is higher than Vanguard, but still far lower than many mutual funds.

The brokers and funds mentioned above are all good including T Rowe.
I would look toward ETF's since they trade like stocks.
You want a low cost fund.
At your age I would go all equities. Remember you are in this for the long run and will probably not be selling for years.
Vanguard is the lowest cost vendor so I would use their ETF's if all else is equal.
When you get a chance to go into a 401k I would contribute to the match and then put your extra money into the ROTH. If your 401k has a ROTH use that.
Good luck
