Hi, I ideally want to work as a front office quant or trader at a hedge fund, prop shop, or bank. Are there any jobs for some one who has minimal (101-102 level in college, but no classes in systems, software, architecture, AI,etc...) comp sci but is very good at Math, Stats, and Econ (and possibly some mba/phd level investment courses)?
 
You won't be able to work as a quant, but there are certainly trading jobs at banks and hedge funds you'd be able to apply to.
 
I've found that most of the front office ppl at KeyBank don't have quant creds or even a masters degree. I'd say people skills are the biggie here. That's just what I see though.
