What is the best to degree if you want to work in the city? (hedge fund management and financial trading)?

any input from people in this field or know someone in this field would really be valued thanks.

I work in the hedge fund industry in Boston/New York. Earning your MBA in Finance or Asset Management from s respectable school and then earning your CFA will get you the farthest. A PhD in something related to trading might be appropriate but it narrows your choices and you'll be better off working while you get your CFA than studying for 4-5 years for your PhD.

Hope that helps, email me at Richard@RichardCWilson.com if you want some more specific advice. Here is a post I wrote on hedge fund job advice if you are interested: http://richard-wilson.blogspot.com/2007/...

Here is my free book on hedge funds: http://hedgefundsbook.com
