Where is the future of investment headed? What should I study? ?

Question

I'm starting college next year, and I've been extremely interested in investment for as long as I can remember. Where is investment headed? I've read that mathematics/computer science for "black-box" computer investing will be a major player..I'm studying Ben Graham's "The Intelligent Investor" right now.

What advice do you have for someone pursuing a career in investment?

Answer 1

Major in finance and take plenty of financial accounting courses.  Along with statistics, math and computer science courses.  And get a Masters in Financial Engineering.  Ideally that would set you up for a future in finance and the financial markets.
