Clarification sought

Tetris/quagmire, why the assertion about 0% rate of completion of PhD if one wants to work in finance? I miss the point. If you want to be a quant jock at Ren Tech or DE Shaw it is almost axiomatic that you have a PhD in math, physics, etc plus a Putnam or a chess master's rating ,etc. Please clarify.

Also, Columbia has two Master's, one in FE and the other cited in your reply. Please comment on these and also why master's is sufficient. Thanks.
