>> No.2318883

I saw this too. All the examples they gave when you click on mathematician, though, are involved w/ academia or teaching. What other jobs can mathematicians have (other than finance, fuck finance).

Add the piano and the guitar in there and I'm a disaster waiting to happen.

I can't wait until I have carpel tunnel at 30.

Without reading this thoroughly and just looking at the lists I'll already call this article retarded.

Something that just adds to the retardation is listing a best/worst with varying educational levels. All the best are bachelor (probably masters/phd with those wages) and all the worst are uneducated jobs.

Keep trying to convince yourself this is a positive outlook, even if it were a LOT of shit changes in 4 years while you high school kids are going through your degree.

Dear god what?

Have they not heard of things like India and the dot-com boom?

I'm suddenly so glad that what I'd naturally do if money were taken out of the picture just so happens to be programming. Hatters gonna hat.

Seriously doubt the job outlook is actually THAT good, though.
