If you could get ONE certification/degree.....

Some say that a professional chess player has the ingredients to be a good trader.

I tend to agree...Kasparov would be a great trader.

Hmmm. Chess is national sport in many countries (including mine).

There is hope for me yet!
:p
 
to become a master in asian martial arts would defenitively help. But this you cannot study at any university... you have to study from an original master!
 
I suggest getting a degree in engineering, mathematics or statistics.

In the end, trading is a game of probability. It's all a matter of finding a trading approach that has positive expectancy. No amount of personal discipline will help you if you do not have positive expectancy. I have found that a solid mathematical background has helped me avoid methodologies that simply does not have statistical validity, and help me refine those that do.

I suspect, that other will disagree strongly :)
 
I agree with the math background. It really helps Bob trade well.
Political Science is another thought?

I also agree with cooking. Everyone has got to eat:D
 
What I would do, I would take that money that I'd have to pay for getting the degree (50-80K) and fund a day trading account, and would learn how to trade by paper trading first, and then would start making real money, more money than any degree can offer. That is what I would do. Buttom line, degrees are taught from text books anyway. Why get a degree, get text books - a lot cheaper. Dont donate your money to colleges and universities.
