Can you freelance in mathematics or statistics?

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 9 18:55:49 2017 No.1943150 >>1943094 Yes. Help out the poor liberal arts grad students trying to make sense of their thesis data.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 9 19:24:05 2017 No.1943205 >>1943201 I don't think even PhDs make 300k starting.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 9 22:09:57 2017 No.1943544 With my MSc in math I do quant finance at a large bank, but I think I would rather do freelance or work at a smaller fund. The bureaucracy and corporate culture is completely creativity stifling. So I'm with you OP

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 9 22:58:49 2017 No.1943662 >>1943205 It's a sarcastic meme about math majors.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 9 23:03:14 2017 No.1943674 >>1943094 >Can you freelance in mathematics or statistics? As a matter of fact, yes, you can. It helps if you can also write the software to do the mathematics and statistics.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 9 23:03:40 2017 No.1943677 >>1943662 Oh, I see. PhDs actually can make quite good money if they go into HFT or something, although it'd mostly be in the bonus, not the salary.
