Message: <blockquote data-quote="FutureFinEngineer" data-source="post: 103193" data-attributes="member: 17502">I'll be attending Carnegie Mellon next year and I'm already fluent in around 12 programming languages (including Java, Perl, UNIX, and R). I love learning programming languages in my spare time, so that's why I know so many already.I'm dead-set on becoming a trader and plan to major in comp. finance or operations research. Given the increasingly quantitative nature of trading, would it be good to do a 2nd major in Computer Science? I was planning to do a 2nd major in business, but I might switch to CS if it proves more relevant to trading. Can I be competitive for S&T roles if I simply list my programming skills on my resume, or do I need to do a minor or 2nd major in CS? Would appreciate any answers.</blockquote>
