I graduated recently from UT Austin in May and have a BA in Economics. While searching for jobs in Houston, I've seen quite a few energy trading opportunities. However, it doesn't seem to be possible for me to dive right in without any previous energy experience. Any tips on how to get into the field? Have also checked out a thread about energy trader vs. energy scheduler and noticed a lot of people agreed that scheduling could be a great way to get into trading. But same issue: how do you get into the field coming out of college and looking for entry-level?
Just graduated and energy trading has captured my attention. What next?

Congrats on your degree. I'm from the H (go to school elsewhere but would kill to move back) and a lot of my friends working at the top energy desk are unfortunately fearing getting laid off. It's a tough time for the industry. I had an offer from a large energy company's trading desk and know many people in the industry. Feel free to PM me for specifics and I'll answer to the best of my abilities. Most of friends went straight from UT Econ or Business Honors to desks. Have you tried going through the school's recruiting dept.? I've found I do a lot better getting interviews going through the school.
