Sociology or statistics for investment banking??
I'm going to choose my gcse options but I'm confused whether as to I should take sociology or statistics if I want to become an ibanker/trader, I have asked my dad who's an ibanker and he said statistics, then I asked my sister who's a trader and after that I asked my cousin who's at Deutche and even he said sociology so now I'm just confused and need opinions, should I take sociology or statistics, helpp!
Sociology is ridiculously easy even if it an A Level exam. From what I remember, Stats was an AS Level Exam.
Definitely take Stats over Sociology (even if Stats is an AS level exam) because it will teach you to think numerically in terms of probabilities.
Those Sociology majors are outliers. Do yourself a favor and take the Stats course.
Thankyou but the people in finance that I know have said sociology because it shows that you can think which is "far more important" but I'm still confused ://
lol, I'd trust your dad on this one.
play the probabilities, many more stat guys in trading than sociology people
He wouldn't know that yet, he hasn't taken stats.
of course stats!!
my friend in sociology cant find any jobs..
Stats.
And assuming you want to be a REAL trader, not just an execution or flow trader for a firm, you are going to need a lot more math and cs than just stats.
