Default Trader job

Hi guys, I'm a local uni Accountancy undergrad. I have been trading leveraged forex for over 2 years, with about 50% ROI. I am keen to work as a trader, but with my 2nd lower honours, I guess banks/major financial institutions are out of the picture?

I am familiar with technical analysis and fundamental analysis in FX. I'm wondering how much does this kind of trading experience helps in looking for a job as a trader? And if banks/major FI are out of the question, what are the next best companies/industries that I could try applying for a trading job? Doesn't necessarily has to be trading in FX since technical analysis is the transferable to other financial instruments, and doesn't have to be trading for speculative purposes. I know for one BP has a trading department and I have applied for an internship there recently, but not hopeful at all given my GPA.

Any bros out there working or worked as a trader can advise?
