just got an Airport Security job. Decided to redo my my Bachelor degree as the one I got is pretty useless. So my 3-5 year plan is getting my B.S in Mathematics with concentration in Statistics. Work for the TSA until I can transition to another job in the Government field using my Math B.S.

Has he looked abroad? The geology industry here entered a massive boom because of the fracking/oil revolution. Its slowed down a bit now but not too much. Of course it helps I went to a couple great schools. I was getting job offers before I even graduated- before I even started looking.

How much does the TSA pay? I heard they are hiring a lot of new people right now... something for you neets to think about.

>>
>>74780048

yeah well a PhD from Stanford is something else i guess plus the US industry is good for it

i dont know what his problem is.

He is working in some small office with some engineers as of right now. Maybe he gets out of it once.

If i were him id look abroad aswell or in china or maybe norway? who knows.

Seems kind of tough to get by with a geology degree unless you end up in some consulting firm or something

Surprisingly Penn State is considered the best program. Stanford is right up there too of course. I also run into a lot of University of Michigan grads.

Theoretically it can prime you for a lot of careers but realistically people would rather just hire someone who uses its applications in another field like finance or engineering

If I owned a company I would hire mostly math majors or people who minored in math. It is the subject that really teaches the kind of thinking needed to solve problems.

The only decent jobs for math majors are things relating to finance/software/insurance/education If you are headed to those fields it is best to major in that field and minor in math.

I can't think of any application of complex analysis outside of electrical engineering and the companies would prefer to hire an electrical engineer major with a math minor rather than a math major with a minor in EE.

Also data science is getting pretty big and it is pretty math-y.
