What is the best financial career to utilize my skills in nonlinear statistics with an MA in psychology?

Given my skills of applying nonlinear statistics to the financial markets to establish risk/reward models and having a Masters degree in psychology with no financial industry experience, what is the best way for me to get a career in finance?

  • The best and most appropriate way for someone with your valuable skill set to enter the finance world is to apply as a janitor on the basement level and work your way upwards. If you get to first or second floor within your second week, you are doing well. You can use your psychology degree certificate as part of the mop to help clean up the filth that we i-bankers leave behind.

  • Hedge funds, clearly! If you can use Matlab, you can be a quant.
