narttis1: Did i just hear somebody say Economists and Financial Analysts are better mathematicians and Statisticians?? That's a FALLACY! An economist definitely has done some statistics and mathematics BUT that does not compare to what math majors are trained to do. most of the math done in postgraduate economics programs are what a math major must have done in L300.

You must be kidding to compare a finance graduate to a math/stats graduate in terms of mathematical/logical skills...The finance community has become more mathematical and math graduates are increasingly being preferred to finance guys for admissions into certain postgraduate finance programs and finance roles in industry.

Here's the difference bro, the math guys design and develop complex models, the finance/econs guys use these models.

Training a finance/Econs graduate on statistical packages does NOT make him a statistician, you also need to be trained on the theories behind the software, the assumptions made in developing these theories, limitations on them etc...else all you may be doing is GIGO!

Lastly, studying math in opens you up to countless opportuniyies in so many field of studies..i never regretted studying math/stats at undergrad level.

Can someone pls suggest a very active thread i can join or link for me here on NL that is meant for Graduate n Undergraduate in Maths/Statistics pls? Cos i noticed this one aint active again.

Im seeing this thread now.. I must say that i Enjoyed that debate so far! Im an aspirant tho ( in statistics) planing to have certificate in both stats and I.t i also need advice from y'all.

Why i choose to go for statistics is that i want to be versatile and an enterprenuer cos i also love anything bout I.T ... Tho i resolved that it is better for me to do stats and get a bsc in it cos i can actually learn I.T related course outside uni but i want to be versatile in both fields. Pls i need advice.
