Default Re: Quants without phds?

I have worked with great programmers with degrees in stuff like classical literature, art history, etc, it's more common than you would think actually. it is a lot like music in some ways, in that it requires a certain type of intuition and thought process that most people who are successful in it are wired that way to some degree.

I would think you would pick up programming very quickly barron, it really is not that difficult. the best way to learn to code is to get a job as a programmer, second best way is probably to take a class.
