J-1 academic training question

Hi,

One of the requirements for academic training is that

"The proposed employment must be directly related to your major field of study."

I wonder how strict this requirement is. For instance, suppose you're an Physics PhD and you're oferred a quantitative job in a Wall Street investment firm. Would that qualify for AT?

Would anyone with analogous experience please comment on that?

Thanks in advance!
