How do I become a quant?

[Troypaco]

I'm 25 years old and want to become a quant on wall street. I have my degrees in computer science and mechanical engineering and I'm currently a freelance engineer. I was wondering what are the odds of me becoming a quant since I'm not familiar with quant finance and do I have the right degrees to go into the field?

I would suggest apply for a MFE program, which can prepare you for quant finance. Since you have already got two degrees and have work experience, Berkeley MFE might be a top choice for you. The top-notch career service can help you find quant jobs.
