How does it work

I am currently a financial analyst who focuses on profit modeling and valuations for a small consulting firm, but my true love is in trading stocks. I almost feel guilty, because I spend so much of my day watching the markets and planning my next trade, and I end up working ridiculous hours after the markets close to actually do my own work. But I have found that I have a strong talent for picking and actively trading stocks, and I have turned my original $2,000 investment into $2,950 in less than three months of trading. I know that my skills would benefit any employer, and I believe that my resume could get me in the door somewhere (solid GPA at a top 20 school w/ 1-yr finance experience), but I just don't know how a trading career works. Can someone tell me how those careers begin, and what they are like. If it is impossible to get started with a major firm, are there other alternatives as well? Thanks so much for any advice, comments
