Hi,
I'm currently applying to mathfin programs for next fall. Right now, I'm very worried about the job industry going forward (of course). I feel that in order to make sure I can get a good position, i need to attend a top tier school. However, I'm trying to think of other options in case I don't make it in.
I live in Raleigh, and NC state has a mathfin program. This program is second tier or worse, but it's only a year long, and is very cheap. I was thinking that I could do this program, then go for an mba at a b school that is strong on finance. Would this open up oppurtinities in the trader/analyst fields in spite of my weak mathfin school choice?
Along these same lines... what value does an mba add? I'm intrigued by the dual finance/mba programs out there. I feel like this gives both degrees a lot more versatility, and would make me appealing to a wider range of companies.
Or, if I got the mba, would the quant degree not make any difference if I weren't going to wall st.?
Thanks in advance!
