I created a thread a couple days ago asking for advice choosing between two majors and have decided to go with financial mathematics. I'm interested in what other career paths one might be able to follow if a decent job doesn't soon follow after an MFE?
I feel it would be a major downer if after spending $50k+ I was unable to obtain a quant position. With the other undergrad degree I was considering I would have had excellent programming skills to fall back on. Where as not so much with financial mathematics and an MFE.
What kinds of positions are open to MFE grads? Something equally lucrative that would pay for the MFE. It is such a specific field im afraid I wouldn't be able to apply it to a field where it would yield viable returns. I don't want to end up with an MFE where a BS would have sufficed
