Career change advice
I've been on the IT field for the last 10 years, however in the middle of my career a new passion woke in me : "Trading, as well as the finance sector, I have done OK , not great but ok trading mainly Crude Oil last 3-4 years, I decided to do a MS in Finance with concentration in Investments and securities, I am finishing my degree this summer, I am already a 38 year old person (but with a lot of energy in me), and I want to keep pursuing my dream of becoming a Commodity Analyst or a Financial Analyst on a financial institution (hedge funds, or investing banks) and probably more.
The obstacle I think I am facing now is that at the end of the summer, I only will have my degree and my trading experience online, I also have plenty of knowledge (self study) of the fundamentals of commodities (my bread and butter is crude oil) as well as technical analysis, but I am aware that's not enough, I've been searching online and some recommend to take the Series 3 test and even the Series 7. I'ts any suggestions what direction I should take and also would my degree , knowledge and experience online trading could get in the doors of a Financial Institution?.. I am trying to avoid leaving a solid job for an internship, bottom line what I could do ? will passing the series 3 or 7 open the doors for me?
