Anyone see a pre-med go into S&T

Not me nor a friend, just asking for sake of curiousity. How do premed students with a science-related major do in S&T?  Maybe certain cases like chem engineering major going into energy S&T. 

WSO is filled with posts about pre meds going into banking, specifically healthcare banking but anyone hearing of pre meds going into S&T.

Yes, there are med students I know who have gone into trading. Don't think your performance will be based on your background, so you/they should be absolutely fine. As long as they possess the required quantitative skills, then there should be quite a few opportunities for them there. Yeh the chem eng into commodities desks in S&T isn't a requirement, but I think some of those people (based on what they have told me) just like the sector because it is somewhat related to their college/university degree compared with other products.

I suppose people you read about may have gone into healthcare banking to exploit their greater knowledge of the healthcare industry gained through their studies? Also, perhaps their personalities were more suited to IBD work? For example, medics are used to working long-hard hours and they don't tend to come off as super-competitive cut-throat types (at least from all the medics I know) so IBD may have suited those individual people more...
