I don't know what to do honestly. What's the approach when it comes to money and job satisfaction? I'm not pretentious, I'd just like a well paying job.

Go straight for my PhD. Would've loved to had been a professor
Just not sure if I'm giving up the potential to be rich. And yes, I understand money isn't everything but it is something that's been crossing my mind

Don't major in math. Don't major in economics. These are worthless degrees if you're not going for a PhD. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Read Aaron Clarey's book, Worthless, and avoid majoring in a useless subject

I do plan on a Ph.D. Basically, I don't know if I should go for my love of math and teach or just say screw it and try to land some corporate job that'll tug me in wealth. I figure economics/(x) would be a good idea
