Which MSc for trading?

S

Hey guys,

Im enrolled in a BSc Business & Economics programm in Germany at the moment and have made work experience during internships with csfb and lehman so far - m&a both.

Now I will have to decide which european master programs would be right for me, if I want to change business and land a good trading job.

I consider whether to take a more quantitative master (MSc Quantitative Finance / Msc Quantitative Economics & Finance) or an usual corporate finance and economics master (MSc Finance & Accounting / MSc Finance & Economics).

What would be best from experience?

Thanks in advance.

The very best trader in the world, Paul Tudor Jones has a Masters in Business Administration, and the other best trader George Soros has a Masters in Economics.

Thus, it doesn't matter which Masters, all you need is a Masters if you aspire to be one of the very best traders that you can possibly be.

An accounting degree would be best if you're interested in only trading.
