Algorithmic trading is the epitome of a meritocracy. I'm highly skeptical of anyone offering a degree in algorithmic trading other than as a historical perspectives. It's an evolving field and extremely cutthroat. I would liken it to going to film school and trying to become Steven Spielberg.
- hackandtrip 8y agoHow is the correlation between "epitome of a meritocracy" and "higly skeptical of a degree"? Is that for it being an evolving field?
- tcbawo 8y agoThe industry has no customers to win over, no sales pitches, no marketing. You either make money or not. I'm skeptical of a degree for several reasons: * Knowledge of what works this year may not work next year. * Teaching people increases competition and dilutes any edge you might have. * If they could earn a living doing this, why wouldn't they be doing that instead of teaching classes?
