Trading: Why so Few MBAs? Oct 19th 2013, 08:00, by Certificates Retail brokerage monkey checking in here after waking up in a cold sweat realizing I need to run far away from too many years in this position. I've thrown myself into an MBA program at a semi-target school. I've been searching posts and a common theme I see in trading is that it is rare for an MBA grad to go into this field. Past posts on WSO have indicated MBA's in this area are unusual due to the opportunity costs and a lack of trading specific training within the programs. 1) Is the apparently low number of MBAs in the field a result of self selection (the MBAs want to go into something else)? 2) Aside from the concerns mentioned above, are there any other recurring reasons so few MBAs are in the trading field? 3) Are MBAs actively screened out of the recruiting field?
