I have my own successful trading account for under a year, I have done various trading courses (useless!)
As a career change, I bring transferable skills from my previous career - I had a property management business.
Am I unrealistic to think I can apply for junior/assistant trading job?
Is it worth while doing a Masters in Economics or will it not make much difference?
What would be a suggested route, that preferably has worked for others?

Check out Prop shops that require you to post your own capital. They will likely be more accepting of your background. Then use that experience to get into a more legit prop shop. One caveat, if you suck at trading or lose money, that’s on you. There’s no parachute. Example of this type of shop is T3 trading.
HFT, lots of passion and willing to work all hours and unpaid if necessary
