Maths.

You will make some shekels, and it would be very difficult to live as a "philosopher", only the best have this privilege.

While you can have very decent job even if you are not a top mathematicians.

Go get these jobs.

I find it funny when CS people flaunt their programming jobs and shit on math majors for having to be high school teachers when I work as a programmer myself, making you be doubly wrong.

Wrong for thinking that CS jobs are somehow top tier shit that you absolutely NEED an education in CS to access them. And wrong for thinking that math graduates can only work in education.

Protip: Swallow a fucking reality pill if you think you can get a six figure job out of graduation. Heck, I bet you couldn't even get a job as good as mine (banking software) after 4 years of education when I got it pretty much out of high school. I already see you faggots sucking dick at some fucking app start up having to socialize with that girl who blogs about how fizzbuzz is too hard.

Nah, forget about the reality pill. Go get some fucking cyanide, faggot.

Obligatory image.

Anyways, if you are even asking this question then just don't. Don't get a degree in math. What gives it so much value is the fact that for every math grad there are 20 engineers, 5 physicists, 5000 biologists, 10 chemists and 200 computer scientists.

Don't devalue my degree with your lower IQ.

As a math major I think I can properly explain.

A math degree is a qualification that says 'I can create new math for you, for me, and for everyone'.

A constant in every class is how everything starts with a list of axioms and then theorems are proven in order. Even when you know something you are not supposed to use it unless it was already proven (obviously). All of this serves to show you how the great mathematicians of the past were able to create their great theories so that in the future you too will be able to create beautiful mathematics.

This is why you will see math majors anywhere.

How come math majors are being hired in insurance, communications, engineering, software, security, hardware, investment, consulting, and biology all at the same time?

It is simple. People who know mathematics can do very little. They can apply their formulas and solve some elementary problem that already has general solutions detailed in textbooks, etc. But business is about new problems and new problems need new mathematics and who else is going to develop that but someone trained specifically in mathematics.

>t-they hate us b-because they ain't us xD

Yeah, how about killing yourself faggot? Holy shit is this lereddit now? I mean it. Is this literally lereddit now?

Are we #redditmemesandspeech now?

Fucking hell you disgust me.

Anyways, pic related and shut the fuck up.

No one respects CS majors because their courses do not require real mathematics. Also people who study CS tend to be worse at math than math, engineering and physics majors in general.

Basically respect does not come for free and there are so many examples that show why you should not expect CS majors to be above an ant. There was a thread some days ago about this girl on CS and she was fucking talking shit.

>My favorite language is HTML5
Really nigga? Fucking web dev shit? Kill yourself.

>When I ask questions by professors get mad at me cuz I am a grillllzzzssss

Oh shit not that #feminism shit.

CS people honestly disgust me.

Just to go /g/ and ask them to post all their CS graduate memes. You will have a fucking laugh.

There are many professions in mathematics that make a lot of money and it all has to do with how you specialize and sell yourself as mathematician to your employers.

The best of the best is actuary and you will see that in the payscale research 'Actuarial mathematics' is the degree at 4th place, with other mathematics following not much behind that.

Anyways. check out this other piece of payscale research in pic related to see where the money is being proven to exist in the pockets of mathematicians.

When they told you that most math majors end at finance it is a lie. It is also a lie that the guys who do end up there want to kill themselves. When you are a math major any job you get is a choice because there are so many fields that will hire math majors so you always choose where you end up. The math majors who applied for finance jobs clearly wanted to do it, if not then they would have gone somewhere else, and there are plenty of places to go.

That said, from how easy your opinion was persuaded you probably don't really care about math so you should still go to CS or whatever.

According to objective statistical data, yes.

Enjoy your 100k starting my friend. Mathematics master race!

Wrong pic lol.

Pic related here are the highest paying jobs for math grads, all according to payscale which is probably the biggest and most reliable source we have.

Ignore the silly title, I hate the word 'geek'.

Those are all nice math related careers that have a nice percentage of math majors. What is funny is that mathematician has 70% math majors, what is up with that.

Anyways, those are the best careers for math majors.

Here are other careers that are not as nice but also hire math majors:

Now you have been educated. Now you may change your meme to

>math
>career
Pick as many as you want.
