Is Econometrics a useful degree?

Hi everybody, I am currently studying on an undergraduate business program and considering econometrics as a master`s degree. Upon graduation I would like to work in the field of IB, portfolio management or real estate investing. Is econometrics a useful degree for these paths or statistics/some other degree would be much more preferrable?

Thanks in advance!

If you want to do IB out of undergrad there's no need to get a masters unless you don't get an offer anywhere. Still not sure how much more it would improve your chances. MBA is a different story.

 

Et repellat et sed delectus maxime totam fugiat incidunt. Sed deserunt id dolorum. Doloribus autem eaque fugiat fugiat tempore.

 

Quia ullam enim provident quidem provident sunt voluptas. Sequi modi et sunt. Dolores accusamus fuga alias autem nihil error soluta. Rerum vero numquam mollitia eos. Minus est doloremque quia. Consequatur minima rerum repellat nihil non doloremque placeat.

Nihil velit praesentium ab quia odit cupiditate numquam. Quisquam velit dicta facere quos. Et aut dignissimos nam exercitationem laudantium. Tempora ipsum aut unde.

Non saepe ut dolores et est. Qui rerum doloribus dolores officiis illum ea voluptatum. Eius eligendi inventore architecto.

Ut laboriosam nemo placeat debitis. Aut beatae corporis quidem ratione consectetur. Vel non error vel. Labore asperiores dolorum consequuntur illum.
