ST Grad Advice

Hi all,

I've seen this sort of thing asked loads, but I kinda have to ask as I'm pretty lost currently.

I'm going to be graduating from Oxbridge in 2 years, studying a humanities/social science. I'm really interested in the markets etc. so i thought s&t would be best. Then, as has been asked many many times before, i see the whole 's&t is dying' situation etc. etc. Maybe you one of you could shed light on whether there is still a career left in s&t for non-algo traders, but otherwise:

Not to repeat what has been asked so much before, can anyone give some advice on what sort of roles (trader?) are generally available close to the markets.

I was thinking supermajor oil trading or power trading is a potential idea, maybe a fund? Any others?

Thanks for helping out a lost student
