Master degree for a grain trader
Currently I'm a grain trader in a boutique grain trading company in Eastern Europe. I've been trading grain for almost 2 years and now I'd like to step up and work for the big dogs of this industry, e.g., ABDC. I'd be more than grateful if could let me know what is the most efficient way to achieve this. I thought that since I'm young enough (25 yrs) and I have only BSc in Economics it would be logical to earn more specialized master degree, e.g., in commodity trading or agricultural economics and afterwards join big international agri trading house. If you know good schools that have such programs, please let me know about them and in overall I’d appreciate your opinions about such my plan.

Trading is more of a show you know your stuff more than a show you have credentials though.
Don't think the Masters is necessary or even needed. Many of the ABCDs have shops in Europe that you should look into.
Cass Business School in LDN has a program in trade, shipping and finance. I know they place a lot of people in bulk commodity trading houses / shipowining companies. My friend -an iron ore trader w/ Stemcor- did his master's there.
Agri-commodity trading (Originally Posted: 02/04/2014)
Hi all,
This is my first post so please excuse me if I am not doing in a correct way. I just finished a bachelor in actuarial science and finance and I am really interested in commodities, specifically trading agri-comoodities, shipping and how to handle it ( hedge,futures,options etc). I heard about few Master in some cities such as Geneva,London,Singapur... I would like if someone knows some Master or course focused on that please say me. It is said the Master of Geneva is really good a useful but i am after the deadline.
Thank you very much
You reallllllly don't need a masters degree to be a commodities trader. I'd say take your bachelors and get to work at a commodities trading firm.
