What was you path into commodity trading?

I'm a student, most likely heading into investment banking after uni. Was wondering what people's different paths into commodity trading were. Where you come from? IB? S&T? HF? Petroleum engineering?

Just tryna learn more about what paths leave exits into this industry still open. Thank you.
