      I think he does understand it what he meant is that he can't predict the fluctuations in the market thus it's basically gambling. And no matter how much academia he does he can never predict something of that scale.
      Teaching provides more stability rather than investing hours and hours reading Patterns f for something so uncertain. Thus it's better to be a professor.
      Most who actually benifit from stock market are rich. You can be a shareholder in your own company and grow it it. You can scam customer like Wells Fargo and get rich. Or you can grow it time through diverse stocks ( index funds). But usually will require lots of time and most importantly a looot of money.
      Lesson of the day: it's complicated

      It's sad that your professor put it that way. It's misleading because it's misleads people to think people are professors because it's a life of luxury when in reality they just love what they do.

      @Damnit Bobby You do not understand the difference between buyside and sell side trading. Banks don't trade directionally for profit, they trade client orders and have to mitigate risk in the process. The buyside like a quantitative hedge fund takes directional trade to profit. It doesn't make sense to ask a bank risk manager/trader to show his personal trading records because that's not what banks do..

    I have an MFE from NYU, I work in corporate finance in a big tech company.. The degree is pretty useless to get into banks and only a few make it because you will compete with actual Quant PHD's and mathematics degrees.. It's an overpriced finance degree, you can get the same material for half the price.. if you still want to make it there I suggest certificates, they are cheaper and almost same result.

    • @akhil9581

      This was an awesome reply @Mo 7. I just graduated with a finance degree from the University of Arkansas Walton Honors Program. I’m currently applying to a few graduate programs because I’ve decided staying in school may be my best option at this very moment in the economy. Corporate finance has always been one of my hopeful “end goals” for my education, I think I wrote about it in my scholarship essays around 5 years ago haha.

    I feel sorry for these kids, the jobs just aren't there. Maybe in 2001 but the banking world has moved on, nobody wants silly derivatives anymore. Banking is no longer sexy. If you want to change the world, work in a tech company or do something you enjoy for a reasonable amount of money and be happy (happy people generally have fewer problems in life, money included). If you want to wear a suit, work in wall street.
    I was a 'quant'/financial engineer now I run a tech company... all that being said, wall street was a good way to earn a bit of cash without much hard work in the beginning of my career, for that opportunity I am grateful, but still, I wouldn't recommend it, least not long term as a career.

People like you always told me bullshit like "drop out of finance" or "why are you wasting your time doing that program" and I didn't listen to them. Now it feels great to have a 700K/year income as company CFO. Think before you comment, please.
