<p>^^ So you’re saying to get your PhD in Chem and then do finance? O_o</p>
<p>Anyways, I was accepted to a 0-6 PharmD program with a full tuition scholarship for four years. That would mean I can save up for my last two years at 30k each. Would this not be a bad idea to do?</p>
<p>I still think Pharm D is a better bet than any grad science degree and most undergrad degrees.</p>
<p>If you are going into finance get an MS in quantitative finance. Getting a Ph. D just so you can leave the field is a waste of time and effort. You will spend up to 7 years working your butt of doing research and teaching undergrads and getting $15k. There is still no guarantee you will even get the Ph. D. Only 50% do even less in really bad programs. The main issue is you are totally dependent on your PI who in many cases is only interested in the cheap labor your provide to him and the university. It is frankly a corrupt and exploitative system.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that Quant Finance MS is actually looked down on in Wall Street, since they only know how to model existing financial systems and if there’s any change in the market they can’t handle it. They need to be able to teach themselves all the math they need for any change in the markets.</p>
<p>Yeah I heard from CC-business majors forum that M.S degrees in business aren’t a good idea since the job outlook and pay aren’t that great even at top schools, unless you want to become a CPA by getting M.S in Accounting.</p>
