People don't go to uni to become rich btw - if you want money just work in the mines and invest - either that or invent something. People don't make billions of dollars without taking risks and being creative.

Just assumed there was some grant system - too used to looking up USA/Europe PhDs ><

Anyone who choices their degree purely based on the hope they will make more money than everyone else is a fuckwit

I think you'll get into a post-grad finance program alot easier than me: pretty much all post grad econometrics courses require an economics undergraduate degree and I'd assume the same with finance. Are you sure your not looking for a PhD in financial mathematics (as opposed to finance)? I'm...
