cjno1 thanks for the reply.....
You do not move into the wider fields by introducing a subject, you identify individuals within the profession who can represent it wholeheartedly and who are capable of competing outside it, then you nurture and support them to grow the profession.
What happended to Certificate in Derivatives and Advanced Certificate in Derivatives that the profession used to offer like CERA i.e (CID and ACID)? They died out because you had the content not the people. Note, both CID and ACID are euivalent to Paul Wilmott's Certificate in Quantitative Finance (CQF).
If we want to be specialized, then let us remain to the traditional areas and not dream of compete, the markets are full of professionals who work hard and are liberal...if we want to go there we are going to need a clever plan....it's a senicure cum activity with a double dose of randomness.
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
-Robert A. Heinlein
