Post Body

Hi, I've always been interested in finance and computer science. I am currently a computer science major and I do forex trading on my free time.

My dream job is to be a quant. I've always loved math, I would love to live and work in NYC, there are more reasons but lets leave it there, the 1 thing is that I hate school and I don't want a phd. I need a path for my dream job that would not involve spending 8 years of my life in college. Im currently a sophomore and the most i want is a bachelors.

Do any of you have any advice? Should i just work on my portfolio and grow as an engineer and statistician or is the only way to see my dream job to get a PhD?
