[QUOTE="jarryds, post: 298402, member: 45726"] This is what I will say: MBAs will not help you if your goal is quant. MBAs are even becoming less powerful in banking in general. Are you actually interested in maths/stats/programming? Your background has not given you much exposure into that world, how are you certain this is the path for you? As far as getting a BS in math, that is a lot more school to commit to. Furthermore, most quant roles (if not all), will not take undergrad degrees, they expect advanced degrees in quantitative areas. So your bachelors in math would need a masters in math - a roughly 6 year commitment. Also, robotics - where is that coming from? That is a completely different field. Are you interested in robotics? If I were you, I would look into come rotational programs that banks offer. Some of the programs will give you a little more quantitative exposure while not being "quant." This is probably your best bet for a future in quant and will give you a better outlook on the industry before signing up for more school. Sounds like you are kind of in-between paths. In my opinion, do not commit to education if you are unsure of the path. I would think this out while working until you get some better understanding of your true interests. [/QUOTE]
