Physical Commodities Trading Career Path and Prerequisites

Hello Everyone!

I currently live in Bangalore. I completed my graduation in Mechatronics Engineering in 2016, and have worked as a UI Developer since then. Now, I'm interested to switch to a career in physical commodities trading.

  1. So, what steps should I take now to make the switch? What do I need to do?
  2. How good is an MBA for this industry? How does it affect the career path of a trader?
  3. If so, which are the world's best universities for an MBA?
  4. What are my options apart from Graduate Training Programs? How about the Commodity Trading Masters at UNIVERSITÉ DE GENÈVE?
