>that feel when no PhD in Maths

Was wondering has anyone got a PhD in Maths in here? as my friend was saying that it's not worth it and that academics is shit and most employers don't require it.

My friend got turned down at McDonald's even though he won three nobel prizes last year for his work in electromagnetic topography flux drives... feels bad man.

This whole thread makes me want to put a gun to my head and earn a PhD in math.

I'm in a mathematics PhD program, but I'm not in it for 300k starting. If you love math and want to do research then get a PhD. If you just want to make money then get a masters in financial mathematics or computational finance and get rich.
