Mathematics degree jobs

[Anonymous No.15299949]

What kind of jobs do people have after finishing a mathematics degree?

I’ve heard people going into data science but what else? Also how would one go about preparing for the degree if you had 8 months.

Just pick up some programming skills and you can get almost every tech job.

arent there demands on certain tech jobs that you have somekind of specific degree?

you go to bioprocess engineering?
i guess graduating from pure math wont be enough in here

The fact is, most university degrees are so watered down they no longer certify an IQ above about 100-110. A math degree is still totally untouched by grade inflation, and to get one without washing out you need an IQ of at least 135 at a normal school, 145 at a top school like MIT. It doesn’t matter what job you want in what sector, it’s basically yours at this point. Just make sure to dress snappy and the world is in your oyster.

There is some truth that it's not watered down, however the difference between universities is incredible.

At a no name school someone might have a math degree with engineering calculus classes, linear algebra, and baby analysis.

This will kill your math career.

At another school someone might finish undergrad with a course on Hatchers Topology and Papa rudin

Another thought. "Gifted" kids often learn they can't get by in first few years of college on smarts and need to start working.

No matter how high IQ you are, you will hit that point in math grad school. Even child prodigies say this. So yes you absolutely need a minimum IQ, but a certain point grinding out problems and papers for years starts to accumulate.

Most of them get a MSc in CS, Finance etc, some of them go on with Academic career.

EE masters is a good route too

You would not get a job as a programmer if you can barely program. And if you could you'd be starting at a junior salary like everyone else. Programmers who taught themselves with a good portfolio and had no degree would get the job before you

I don't think you can jump directly into EE research without having EE bachelors first.

Another money whore smelly pajeet found here. Not everyone has sold their soul for muh 6 figures, sometimes people study what they are passionate about. I'm also aware that your iq filters you out of any degree above cs. But don't forget that not everyone is as stupid as you are.

You can
It won't be research though

I have never seen a postgrad taught EE course at any college though.

Go and try applying for a programming job you're not qualified for then. And when you get rejected tell them they should hire you because you enjoyed doing your degree. Then listen as they laugh at you for being retarded

Related question, is it easier to get an interesting job with a math or physics degree? For example, can you work at an aerospace company with a theoretical physics degree?

[Anonymous No.15302782]

>>15302774
…just get a degree in aerospace engineering.
It will be a million times better for you.

If you do a masters in aerospace engineering you will learn all the same stuff a a physicist + lots of real world mechanical stuff. The only thing you won't learn is the highly theoretical stuff but an engineering major can take a moder physics course as an elective in their undergrad.

Biostatisticians make bank.
It's a long road to get there, and the jobs are slim. But when you do get one the payoff is big.

My applied math program has no real analysis, I took abstract algebra instead. The only analysis course I have taken is numerical analysis.
