Sure, going to a summer program as a master student makes you an associate but that is more of a "keeping up with the Joneses" thing; the managers really don't care about the fancy degrees. You have excellent entry level trading experience. What you need is a strong network, not another degree. Talk to anyone you know in a major bank. Ask them to put you in touch with traders within the bank. If they don't know any then ask them to ask other people within the bank if they know any traders. Yeah, this actually works. If a trader likes you enough and you've gotten to know each other a bit, ask him to introduce you to his manager.Basically, network your brains out. You'll be fine.</blockquote>
