<p>I'm going to Georgia Tech, a school that is concentrated heavily on engineering. I like programming so I decided to go into programming. I was wondering what my career options were once I graduate. Is there any way to move into trading and/or investment banking? Although I do like computer science, the latter options seems like it may be more interesting (I can't say for sure yet since I haven't talked to many people in the field). Really, I am just trying to keep my options open, and I am asking if I get an undergrad degree in cs at tech, will I be virtually barred from the trading/investment banking field? If not, how do people normally go about moving in to the field if they don't major in finance? thanks for the info guys.</p>
<p>Most traders major in math/stats/engineering, computer science might be close enough. Bankers usually major in finance but can come from other fields, even liberal arts, since the math that is used is so basic.</p>
<p>This investment banker came to speak to my class, and he told us he majored in mathematics and music at UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>He mentioned that it’s possible to major in virtually anything and still work on Wall Street.</p>
