I thought this would a fun and peculiar topic. As we all know (or you should), formal education is only a drop in the bucket of technical skills required in high finance. To that end, I've come across people with some strange backgrounds. Tell me who you've come across.
tie for the strangest I know: - fixed income trader at Citi in HK: no undergrad degree AT ALL (assume he never went but may have dropped out) - quant researcher who is ABD PhD in sociology! (does have undergrad in math though)
