[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The education is top notch and work ethic instilled translates well to employment. [/quote]

Employment in everything but engineering, correct?[/quote]

Apart from molecular engineering, UChicago doesn’t have engineering at all.  [/quote]

It's an econ school, why does it need engineering?  [/quote]

UChicago is great for humanities, social sciences, math, physics. Fully agree that there is no need for engineering. [/quote]

One third majoring in econ by graduation.[/quote]

It may be because Math/Physics/Stats/Engineering is so hard...it's the default[/quote]
Uchicago economics is very very hard. It’s because economics has the best outcomes coming out of college. A physics degree is almost entirely useless if you aren’t spending most of your time in other courses.[/quote]

I would think Physics at UChicago would set you up nicely for a quant job. I think they even have a large quant trading club and I see Physics/Math/Stats majors. Impressive club![/quote]
What’s the purpose of going all the way with a major as hard as physics to get a quant job? Just do math or economics and you’ll have a much easier time explaining why you even did the degree you did.[/quote]

$$$$ That's why I would think. This firms want SMART. Although I also think Sam Bankman Fried went this route, MIT - Physics - Jane Street... it's really not uncommon[/quote]
