If you are interested in trading rather than other financial jobs, (for instance, IPO, merge&acquisition and so on), the skills in computer science is more relavent. Topics like artificial intelligence and neuron network is quite useful in short term financial modelling. By short term, I mean within a day. If you are interested HFT, the term could be several millisecond. The topics covered in Business classes can hardly tell you anything about such modelling.I am not a practitioner yet and all above is my pernoal opinion. Were there disputes, furthur discussion is welcomed.</blockquote>
