I change because economics in the quantitative level i wanted to does not exist inside banks, companies. In other words, it is too classic. Everyone most seeks accountants, people either with business adiministration or finance skills in the market. I respect my science a lot and i do not regret of studying it, but Economics is not "commercial, it is far way from real market. In my opinion economics gives you a brilliant way of thinking market, not odds to work in it (like finance, shipping, accounting etc), at least when you are young and you do not have many research papers. I would like to do some research papers, but for myself, my interesting in science, not for living.
You should be lucky! The positive aspect is that i can attend all these courses (and also twice) in the department of statistics and informatics. I have one year..
I would like to ask you if econometrics [ panel data analysis, time series analysis, cross section data analysis (duration models, binary, ordered and multinomial choice models), Bayesian Econometrics (have told me these are becoming popular) ] play any crucial part in financial engineering-quantitative finance. The more i get informed, the more i think that programming and mathematical skills are basically the key point for these two finace directions.
