I posted this yesterday, but I believe that I posted it in the wrong forum since I haven't received any responses...
I've recently decided that I want to go into commodity trading. I will be graduating this spring and I'm interested in pursuing a masters before I start working since I'm graduating a year early. I found an interesting MSc in political economy at LSE that I'm interested in doing, but would this degree enhance my employability? I would have the opportunity to specialize in trade and I would conduct my dissertation about a specific commodity. I'm also interested in getting an MBA at some point. My goal is to eventually end up at a firm like Glencore/Vitol or something along those lines. Thanks!
I think it's good to have the LSE name on your CV, if only to improve your candidacy for MBA. No lose situation, but could possibly be helpful to find some relevant work experience if that is all feasible for you.

Full disclosure, I know next to nothing about these programs or their efficacy in landing you a physical commodity trading position.
