Different skill sets are in place for sales and trading. You're better off securing market experience as theory contained within an MBA course wont count for as much as true trading experience.
People use MBAs to break into S&T..its just that the percentages are low. People who are getting an MBA to get into S&T are people who did not get S&T right out of undergrad. Once you are in S&T, the opportunity cost of getting an MBA is not worth it. For a top MBA, you need three years of experience (and even then you need to answer the essay question "How will this MBA help your career?"---which is hard for people looking to get back into S&T. Three years out you will be making a few hundred K a year, add that 150K it takes to go to B-school (not including the lost work experience) and you can see why not many S&T guysget MBAs. Also, an MBA is mandatory for IB/PE, not for S&T.
I know several people who used/are using an MBA to get into S,T, and R--they come from top programs, and are only part of a small group---most of their classmates took consulting or IB/PE.
