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.

Okay first off I'm not Paul, I'm Paluka.
You are right that hedge fund jobs are harder to bet.
I think assistant traders probably start btw 35k and 65k.
