So I've been reading that physicists are good candidates for jobs in the financial sector, and there was even huge demand for them on Wall St. a few years ago.
After obtaining a BSc in Applied Physics, would it help securing a job in the financial sector by having an MSc in Financial Mathematics (so I have a mix between physics and maths), or would I be better off getting an MSc in engineering/physics related field and still have the same option of going down the financial career route if I wanted to?
