Which degree I should pursue to become (Quantitative) Trader

[ninesi]

My dream is to work one day like trader at Jane Street, Two Sigma Investments, Jump Trading or some other big prop trading company. Which degree it would be ideal to pursue? I going to graduate high school in few days. Also if you have any tips, sites I should take a look or anything else please let me know.
Thanks

A mathematics degree in undergrad will give you the kind of background that traders need (strong emphasis on probability, with knowledge of combinatorics/discrete mathematics is very helpful).

A degree in stats/econometrics with 2-3 courses in machine learning. Program a lot in Python/R
