Should I continue with my Finance and Economics double major?
I'm posting this on the Hedge Fund forum because my goal is to be a global macro portfolio manager at a HF, feel free to move it somewhere more appropriate if need be.
I'll try to make this short. I just started my junior year and I'm currently doing a double major in Finance and Economics. When I started college I thought the only way to break into the investment industry is through a major in business. Recently I discovered, through WSO, that you don't need a business major to be a trader or portfolio manager. I've been really regretting not majoring in physics, which I'm deeply intrigued by. Markets are my true passion, but I've learned almost everything I know now through books and investor letters, not through my majors.
What do you think I should do? Continue with my double major now that I'm half way done, or switch to physics? Any advice is appreciated.
I'd suggest dropping either Finance or Econ down to a minor (whichever one you've done less of) and doing Physics instead.
Could you possibly still graduate on time without any excess debt and a solid GPA with a triple major? It'll be a lot of fucking work, your advisor will probably try to shoot it down, and you probably won't want to do it, but it'll definitely set you apart and if you're really interested you could.
