How does this major sound ?
Dear Fellas,
I'm looking to design an individualized undergrad major with the best prospects towards finance/trading career. I'm currently a junior level Electrical engineering major and don't see myself continuing this path. So I'm looking to at least veer towards something that interests me rather than redo a whole major again.
I'm thinking of something in risk management + advanced computing esp Artificial intelligence. Also, I will be appearing for the CFA level 2 next June.
A combination of science/technology with a Finance/Management flavor that's what I'm looking for...any suggestions or corrective inputs will be appreciated.
Thanks
At my undergrad, in the engineering school our applied math department allowed you concentrate in any other subject in the school so long as you could apply your core math courses to that. I'd check something like that.
Congratulations on passing level I, level II should be fun, or so I've heard. Right now you're on the dreaded IT track, but I think applying to internships with level I CFA should help you tremendously. It sounds like moving to the quant side won't be too difficult at this point. AI won't do much for you in terms of this, think more along the lines of whatever quantitative risk-type courses your school B-school offers, as well as numerical methods, probability and stats (especially probability), stochastics, and moving towards the financial engineering courses, if they have them (often in operations/industrial engineering). Understanding of the math + ability to program it I think will lead to some jobs at desks.
