I'd love to be able to get some work experience outside internships and see whether quant finance is really for me before investing time and money in an MFE program. What kind of undergraduates are able to find work in quant finance, and what can they usually do? I'm wondering about what kind of courses I'd need to take, and whether a good background stochastic calculus is needed in all aspects of quant finance or just in derivative pricing. Undergrads from my school tend to place very well in consulting and finance, and I think I might like some "real-world" experience before grad school.
