Applied Mathematics with a Concentration in Mathematical Finance

Sorry to bother everyone's vacation but what is this degree useful for? I was hoping to be able to use this to focus on quantitative trading. It turns out that Santa Clara University offers a program that specializes in this field. What jobs are available with this degree, and has any member on here received such a degree and what are you doing now?
