Closing in on graduation and not sure what my options are?
Hi everyone,
I signed up here because i'm a little worried about what it is that i'm going to do upon graduation and I was hoping I could get a little insight from you all.
I will be graduating at the end of the summertime with a BSc double major in mathematics and economics. I initially went into this program just because numbers were something I enjoyed and I wanted a little diversity so I added in the economics. Ive always been very interested in finance, trading fairly often on my discount brokerage, taking finance-related courses etc...
The problem is that I go to a Canadian school that no finance job cares about, and from what I understand, school attended and GPA are the number 1 and 2 factors. On top of that, i'm not sure exactly what it is that I would do in finance? I obviously recognize that my BACKGROUND is a valuable one, but even if I had the GPA i'm not sure where i'm "supposed" to gravitate to; ive been heavily discouraged by quants by telling me that their industry is dead (is this true?) and I have 0 desire to become an actuary.
So in sum i'm just asking
1. What sort of "finance" should I be looking at if I want to be math oriented?
2. Is it even worth it for me to try without a post-grad?
For reference I would say my background is VERY heavy in applied mathematics and statistics... Ive taken econometrics, applied econometrics, financial econometrics etc, almost all the hard-science route in my economics degree, and with my math degree I have a heavy background in probability, time series, differential equations (both PDE and ODE), regression modelling, etc along with the typical core math-courses such as abstract algebra, advanced levels of linear algebra, analysis, some topology etc etc
