Career Path in Trading

This may sound absurd but I am just getting into the finance scene and I appreciate clarification. Is it possible for a trader to puruse the banker's route of 2 years analyst -> B-school MBA -> HF/PE/VC ?

I will be starting university this Autumn and is simply trying to plan which Spring Programme to apply to. Trading's tasks and schedule seems to fit my personality. However, my plan is to enrol in a B-school and eventually work in a PE/HF/VC. I'm not sure whether trading, instead of IBD, will make this more difficult or even unlikely.

Is it possible for a trader to puruse the banker's route of 2 years analyst -> B-school MBA -> HF/PE/VC ?

I will be starting university this October and is simply trying to plan which Spring Programmes to apply to. A trader's role and schedule seems to fit my personality more. However, my plan is to enrol in a B-school and eventually work in a PE/HF/VC. I'm not sure whether S&T, instead of IBD, will make this more difficult or even unlikely.
