The big man was maths and engineering. Others I dunno, they're normally pretty sharp and focused and good looking ( I guess it's intrinsically client facing)

My undergraduate degree was in Math and Economics with a minor in Applied Statistics. I used little to nothing of my Math degree. It all depends on the fund strategies.

I am about to enter my last year studying Economics with a minor in CS. What steps do you think I should take if I want to enter the field?

Totally depends on what type of fund/strategies you're interested in.

A friend of mine is an analyst, he has a business studies degree.

Luck.

This reminds me of a saying my boss used to tell me.

During a mass hiring event, they wouldn't even bother to pick up a resume if it fell down on the floor by mistake. When questioned about the practice and asked if those candidates were just unlucky to not make it, the hiring manager replied- He didnt want to hire unlucky people.
