Which PhD subject?

[Connor]

I'm considering getting a phd in the future and curious what everyone's opinion is on whether I should pursue a phd in finance, mathematics or statistics (relating to getting a quant job).

I want to pursue a phd regardless so don't think I'm doing this for the sole purpose of getting a quant job. I'm slightly attracted to statistics because I hear it has wide applications in many other businesses, making getting a job easier. Also many quant job ads call for a phd in a quantitative subject (very few list finance in that category).

Thanks in advance.

There are several threads about this on quantnet.

Thanks. I've already searched the forums under "phd" and didn't find anything that exactly answered my question, so sorry for the repeat.
