What degree is related closest to this field..

[effee]

any ideas? the closest thing i've found is banking and finance, but is there any speciality degree associated with this field?

Try accounting? That's all I can think of.

I know PhD physicists (specializing in high energy) make up a sizable fraction of investment bankers as well (no, that is not a joke, it is actually the truth). I'm sure any degree where you analyze tons of data would be useful.

I know a few investment bankers who hold both Finance and Economics degrees.

 

[miketheidiot]

finance and economics would be good bets

This is absolutely correct. I have a PhD in EE and currently working at Goldman Sachs.

I would suggest the finance/economics route.
