In Reply To: Don't waste your time getting a MBA if you are already in S&T. There is absolutely no way you can make up the money you leave on the table by going away to school. The small pay increase you'll get from having a MBA will never make up for it, and you'll never learn as much as you can from being on a trading desk. You'll have plenty of time(and money) once you've retired. Of course, if you don't like S&T, then by all means.
Message: What is S&T. excuse my ignorance, but I am just getting into swing of things. I have always heard that traders make a lot of money. what does a trader do? How do you become a trader? Does an engineer like me with MBA in finance have a chance?
