"Mathematicians becoming data scientists..."
At best you're talking about a career change, at worst you're talking about a watered-down version of your intended career.
- stale2002 10y agoA watered down version of your career that pays 3 times as much, working on problems that will actually affect people's lives.
- M_Grey 10y agoOh yeah, you're going to change the world by figuring out who to market baby formula to, and that internet-connected toaster is a winner. The money is good though, that's true.
- stale2002 10y agoThe money is good because people are willing to pay. If the world needed more PHDs, then the world would pay them more. Thats how markets work. Supply and demand.
- M_Grey 10y ago"Needs" Not so much. "Wants" as "Thinks it needs", but even then, the amount of student debt suggests that neither of those are entirely true either.
