Antisyzygy - Thanks for the link about corn, I enjoyed it. (I eat my corn vertically, while rotating the cob.) I'm glad you enjoyed the read. Kuznetsov (or in fact any other book) does not cover trading strategies, but it is the best introduction to the quant industry. I think it will help with your career decisions more than knowing Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman approaches to trade execution or filtering of high-frequency data. There are lots of jobs for quants at your qualification level and you should definitely consider. I cannot offer as much as what's available on the Wilmott forums, and seriously recommend that you take a look over there. Seeing your conviction in learning more about this field, I've also sent you a PM with some other reference material with more practical details of quantitative trading strategies.
Coursera is offering a free online course starting in February which might be of interest to readers of this thread. The "Financial Engineering and Risk Management" course is probably not as applied as Artemiso's comments in this thread, but it might give a nice overview of quantitative subjects. I'm looking forward to follow it.
