From my first link (Redbeard #18, addressing the differences between OpRe and FE):
“Financial engineering is pretty spanking new. But, financial analysts are all about reducing risk. In order to do this, you need to be able to measure risk.”

So no need to deflect praise; I won’t let you! Redbeard had it covered, and your linked thread addressed a different issue. Just take the credit, as is your due; we all get little enough (if we’re parents) as it is. And thanks for the additional link.

Would it be safe to say that you don’t feel this should be an UG major due to the depth and intricacy of the subject matter? (I kind of wonder who would likely hire someone with only a bachelor’s degree. Any ideas?)
