Gain- higher degree (pinnacle), may be- more respect, may be- an iron converted to steel, may be- independent researcher Loss- If you can not complete it, it will hurt !!

 Apart from the subject being "just different", I would ask these questions to myself: 1. What career goal I would like to accomplish? Just curious, why the gigantic jump to FE. 2. What do I consider to be worthwhile?

There are bunch of different forum that you can visit and get the idea. I think the forum from Baruch college is huge. Financial engineering is huge in the us and has a great starting salary but I am not sure how much benefit you can have I'm Nepal with that degree

Thank you guys for your response. smooth, I agree with you. I have already an experiece of dropping  out from a PhD program & I don't want to make that mistake again. m-misfit The addiction of playing with money made me attracted toward financial engineering . Made & lost lot of $$ in the money market.  So I thought concrete knowlege would lead me to some peace :) & some different job. Talking about my career goal, I would like to end up in some government job in Nepal where I can make nice money & contribute for Nepal. or starting my own financial company :) dolphin, thank you for the info Let the discussion continue. Other pros & enthusiast, please have your opinion.
