I think getting a job as an assistant trader is pretty easy, especially if you approach derivatives trading firms which still have a presence on the trading floors. I think an MBA is useless, you would much much rather get an advanced degree in Mathematical Finance or somesuch.

Paul, how much do asst traders usually make? and i am assuming it will be easier to get a job as an asst trader at a broker dealer rather than a hedge fund.
