Should I get FINRA series 3 for physical oil/gas trading?

Hi all,

I am currently a fresh grad working in scheduling for a major oil and gas company. If my end goal is to become a physical oil/gas trader will getting the series 3 help boost my resume for the future? I don’t want to be stuck scheduling forever.
