best degree for Traders

[sammy101]

<p>What is the best degree to have for Trading? Is a MBA a popular choice for most traders(like it is for ibanking) or do most of them have some sort of math/economics phd or Financial engineering degree?</p>

<p>Or do they just forget about grad schools and only get a undergrad degree in math or economics??</p>

<p>Finance/Econ/Math/Engineering(quite a few)/science/whatever.</p>

<p>Most traders usually don't get MBAs.</p>
