I'm just starting my 4th year back studying math formally, 2nd year of PhD. I couldn't be having a better time. Who knows what the other end will look like, but I doubt I will ever work the "typical software job" again.
- cageface 16y agoMy hero! Did you have to start from the beginning with an undergraduate degree or were you able to pick up in the middle somewhere?
- mian2zi3 16y agoMathematically, the beginning, more or less. I had the advantage of having dropped out of my undergrad, so I went back (after 13 years), changed my major to math (from CS), finished in two years and applied to graduate school. If I hadn't been able to resume my undergrad, I'm not sure what I would have done. Masters? Part-time classes until I'd bulked up my background and impressed a few professors to write me recommendations? I don't think I would have done very well applying straight to PhD programs.
