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!
