What to study ?

Hi !

Next year, I'll start two masters in quantitative finance and statistics. I already had courses on stochastic finance but I don't really know the market floor jobs so I'm wondering about what to study. I want to work as a trader or a structurer on commodities and weather derivatives.

• What programming languages are needed to work on these positions? VBA ok, but do I have to know something else? like SQL, C++, Java, ...?

• In the statistics master I have to choose on of the following series of lessons. Which one would be the best? 1: Nonparametric statistics, multivar statistics and probabilities, chronological series, advances linear models, resampling methods with applications, data analysis. 2: Measurement theory, stochastic processes, statistic analysis, probability and mathematical statistics, advanced non-parametric statistics, special topics in mathematical statistics 3: Numerical analysis, optimization methods, matrix theory, stochastic models, ordinary differential equation

Which one could be the best ? I also have statistic calculus on computer, discrete data analysis, data analysis, Bayesian Data Analysis, Applied statistics workshops.

Thanks !
