wall street loves stem majors. they have the math skills needed to come up with new ways to screw the goyim.

A business/finance degree didn't come up with HFT, or how you can use HFT to legally front run client stock trades.

Generally, to be a douchebag, you have to be liked by a certain group of people to oppress another person or group.

Also, sociopathy derives from being hated by everyone.

>How do you get a job on wallstreet?
Apply for open slots. Also, find out what contractors place IT people at firms, and then apply to those contractors saying you want to work in finance.

>can you go there with STEM degrees?
Yes

> if so which ones?
Computer Science. Math for quants. People like Jim Simons even hire physicists and astronomers to sift through data.

>what age is too old?
For employees they prefer young 20 somethings fresh out of school or maybe with one job behind them. For contractors they don't care. And if you're a contractor and you get in with them they'll hire you no matter the age.

Really, if you learn data mining and decision trees and all of that stuff well enough, you can name your price not just on Wall Street but any where. But it is not easy, it is 24/7 year after year after year of tough, tough work to learn that stuff.

>job on wall street

sell siders are the bottom of the barrel. all of the talent has moved to the buy side. whats left are idiots willing to work 100+hrs/wk getting coffee and making DCFs, pushing their bullshit analysis to their angry clientele while the traders are all getting fired for losing then colluding to try to break-even.
