When they were studying physics, I was studying the sword.

My math prof told me he did his undergrad because he loved math. When he graduated, there were no jobs for undergrads, so he did his masters to see where he would end up. He found the same thing happened. No jobs for a masters of math. He did his Phd and some postdoc work for starvation wages.
He became a professor at my Uni and despite still loving math, was the biggest proponent of students not pursuing pure math degrees. " It should only be pursued in small doses in pursuit of other fields, except in the case of the independently wealthy."

I have a math degree. I am far from independently wealthy. There are plenty of math-related jobs out there if you’re willing to stoop from the lofty perches of pure math. Statistics, data science, risk management, actuarial science, finance, accounting, operations research, optimization, computational mathematics, machine learning/AI.
The list goes on and on and on. Many of these jobs might be quite boring for someone who just wants to work on difficult proofs all day but they’re generally a lot better pay than any academic job below the tenure track (and way better pay than Starbucks).
Life is a lot tougher if you’re into physics or chemistry or biology. There you really do need a PhD to do anything and the research positions are extremely competitive to get.

Bless you for chiming in as first hand experience of my third hand story. Hoever I think your post reinforces my professors point more than it refutes it.
As someone in the field, you tell me how it really is. I interpret your post as reinforcing my professor’s point, rather than deyracting from it.

What’s the difference between a phd mathematician and a large pizza?
The pizza can feed a family of four.

I would say π , unless the PhD mathematician is also well rounded.

My step mom has a master’s in math. She is also dumb as they come. She of course wss a math teacher at a private school. I tnimk its only thing you can do with such a degree. I should of stayed in college and got my English degree. Nor to teach just because I love it. But fuck student loans and how expensive higher education is to pursue.

I’m just glad that you didn’t inherit any of her stupidity.

I worked with a guy who had a doctorate in mathematics… He wrote documentation for the software the company produced.

First step: stop looking at the ceiling/ the fediverse and get out of bed
Second step: to be discovered once first step is achieved (impossible)
