Narasa,If you want to get a trader position you should choose your next degree as quantitative as possible. PhD in mathematical finance would probably help more.Also you need to be carefull when looking for your "trainee trader position": being a trader assistant very often do not lead to trading. So go for a "junior trader" position but avoid a "trader-assistant-with-the-possibility-of-becoming-a-trader later" position.Good luck
