Critique this resume (Seeking a Financial Analyst position) senior at a low tier university

I really haven't put much effort into the thought of what I would be doing after I graduate until after I transferred to my current school my Junior year. Since then I managed to get a position at a Mortgage company corporate headquarters. (It's a contract position, the contract is over in November) I am now a Senior and since then have started investing in the stock market and have a positive return overall (20%) should I include this? I also am unsure about listing my dental job... I had the job in between leaving my first university and transferring to the one I am at now.

I would love to work with equities but I realize one would have to have a great amount of knowledge and prep starting from high school. I am a late bloomer but I have the drive to succeed.

Ideally a equity research job would make me happy, but I think a financial analyst position would be more realistic. Am I being too negative here?

My current GPA is a 3.2, should I even include that? My university that I am at is extremely easy to get into (I got in with a 2.7 transfer GPA) although it is being recruited at by some good firms in the state. I do not plan on going to Wall Street but I'd like some advice on how to tweak my resume in order to obtain the best possible career.
