If you're young (i.e. early-mid 20's) I don't think you really need to worry about job security much assuming you don't have to support a family etc. Given that I would go the high variance route and seek out a trading job. You'll always have other doors open for you if it doesn't work out.
If you're super competitive and able to handle lot's of pressure on the job I then you pass at least a couple prerequisites for trading.
Check out 2+2, there's a decent number of guys there that trade by day/play poker by night. If you're looking for advice from someone who's working in the industry you would be able to find someone there pretty easy - and I think most are pretty open to giving advice on this sort of thing.
