Question

thank you

Answer 1

Pursue a degree in mathematics, minor(or double major) in economics/finance/accounting/computer science/statistics.

Good luck, BTW I am a financial engineering (Ms) gradudate. Feel free to email me.

Answer 2

Maths, statistics, or economics is NEVER a bad idea to get a job in investing. Accountancy is moderately useful. The issue with courses like business studies or Investment/finance courses is that they are too vague to be really useful to most hedge fund managers.

Answer 3

You will be getting a degree in Business Administration but will major in Finance.  That is the degree that I have and you will find it rewarding and challenging.  Good luck to you.

Hedge funds hire people with a strong background in accounting LIKE  ( auditing )

Answer 5
