My dream job would be to be an equity yst. My pion is the stock market.?

However, I need advice on what path to go on now. Background: studying to be a Catholic priest for six year, picked up a bachelors in philosophy and fundraising experience. Left seminary, started working as a mortgage broker for 2.5 years. Again, more sales experience on top of fundraising. I am now working for a financial representative for a major insurance company. Within in one year I got my Series 6 & 63, insurance producers license, and ped CFA Level 1. I hired someone to write my resume, but am only getting responses from recruiters seeking someone as a support role in another sales environment, possibly more investment focused. Should I start applying for those types of jobs with the hopes that I can move into the yst/research department of the same company, or stick to applying for yst/researching jobs? Should I try moving into my current company's planning department? Or will I end up being stuck in a sales support role for the next 10 years?
