I can't decide if I should go get a masters in computer science, mathematical finance, or statistics. Any pros/cons to each? Thoughts??? Thanks guys!
Sounds like you want to take a Quant's approach... ?? I'd suggest none of those, but rather Forensics... you know, observation, logic and deduction? Those always play well in the markets.
i got my BMath in computer science. i found that after learning in depth the theory behind cs and being well versed in mathematics because of the degree requirements, I picked up finance aspect of quant fairly easily after graduation. unless you are already have a very strong CS background i doubt either other masters programs will give you the CS tools required to research quant successfully. i could be wrong.
I have a much better suggestion for you : after you blow up your first Million in the markets you WILL know what to go for !
Um, not a good example. Each of those guys dropped out of college after 2 (two) years... never mind Master's degree. The only logical conclusion: education is to success / wealth / power as mother-in-law is to honeymoon.
I would recommend this program, it would set you apart from thousands of quants and want to be analysts out there... M.S. Global Finance http://globalfinance.bm.ust.hk/index.asp
