Be a math teacher

>>11947999
No

>>11947985
just have your rich dad give you a job paying 90k a year to bum around an office and not do any real work, duh

>>11947985
Be less of a faggot retard

Exactly

Based.

Get a minor in computer science so you have enough coding ability to contribute in a tech/software environment. Programmers like me are very technical/implementation oriented but only have a weak grasp of the algorithms we use. We need a math nerd around the office.

>>11947985
Engineer.

>>11947985
get a PhD in math and become an autistic researcher like me

it's usually only a couple more classes, in addition to the minor requirements, to double major in computer science. Do that, and make sure you take some probability and statistics classes, and you should be employable.

At least that's what I'm doing, but I'm an undergrad with no industry experience.

Learn to program. I mean for real, just listen to this guy>>11950367. You could get pretty far if you can understand what it is that you program.

>>11950367
can you give actual examples of when a 'math guy' would've been valuable? I feel like this is a huge meme unless you're doing loads of stats/ML or something, in which case you'd already have several 'math guys'

prob in anything involving algorithms. A lot of the PhDs i ve met in my department are working on financial/cs algorithms, which is also a very well paid field, since economists arent usually able to come up with algorithms themselves.

>>11950662
clearly in a PhD program it's gonna be heavily skewed towards needing math guys, I was under the impression we were talking about industry workplaces here, where I'm skeptical of the usefulness of a math guy in your average dev team. Similar reasoning applies towards econ/quants, I would assume devs working with PhDs and financial firms are a small minority of the total employed devs.

>>11950680
You re right, these guys usually work for really big companies. Most math grads that work in IT just minored in CS and had some interest in the programming anyway.

In smaller teams the "math guy" is a dev aswell . From the CS exams I looked up at my uni math majors even were avg an entire grade better than CS majors on avg, but CS Majors have way more programming experience so it evens out between the two of them.

>From the CS exams I looked up at my uni math majors even were avg an entire grade better than CS majors on avg
sounds about right

I'm a math/cs major myself (not sure if I'm going to "double major" or just minor yet). I'm planning on loading up on as many probability/stats/stochastic classes as possible for the math, and as much ML/complexity/graph theory for the CS. not really interested in prob/stats but it's ok and more employable than abstract algebra or topology. hoping shit just works out at the end, I'd like a job I find somewhat interesting at least.

just bee yourself, anon

Go into EE like i did
