Looking to move to Houston for physical trading

So I've been trading financial options for the past 6 years or so but I'm ready for a change. I'm completing my MBA at Top 10 school in the NE as well.

I'm looking to get to Houston and trade. Oil, gas, power; doesn't matter. I'd also be interested in origination and scheduling roles if thats where the opportunities are. I've spoken to some BB down there as well as some other firms that I really liked. Interested to see if anyone knows of any specific opportunities for an experienced financial trader with MBA to break into the physical side.

Cheers.

Didn't pan out. I went all around town and even had a second round with a good shop but they canceled their planned MBA rotational program at the last minute.

I've since relocated to Chicago where I am starting up a risk mgmt and financial trading desk for a global commodity trading house.
