College Major for an FX Trader?

I see this thread went on into the general subject disconnected from the original poster's questions. Anyway, as a general question it sounds very funny to me. The only thing you should learn and do if you want to be a forex trader is practice practice practice trading fx degrees abviously aren't even worth the paper they're written on for this purpose.

Degrees and and college education will only get you so far in this business. Trading is a skill that must be learned and honed. I am not discounting a college degree; if you want to earn a living trading, than by all means pursue a degree in economics or finance. Just remember, there are plenty of people with the aforementioned degrees who are terrible traders, and plenty of people without finance or economics degrees (try mass communication) who become very successful traders.

Just my 2 cents. Good luck!

obviously, the trophy wife is not on your list of needed accoutrements --- while many go for the money, most will take it and run if youre just a beer swigging, non-talking cro-magnun.

so after the money attracts the honey, its the champagne, scintillating conversation and full knowledge of all 724 positions in the kama sutra that keeps her there.

for that, a decent liberal arts education is a tremendous help --- so is a full knowledge of gymnastics !

the money and trophy wife sound pretty good, which one do I get first?................lol

I would say definitely go Econ if you cant do a double major in Finance and Econ, Accounting really isn't what you need for Forex, but the best thing I can say is just trade and read threads and books about forex.

Nothing will get you more ready for forex and than learning it as you trade it.
