Oh, it's that easy? Just walk on over to wall street and make a fortune? Are they just handing them out or something?

- caymanjim 8y agoWell, yes. They're handing out large six-figure starting salaries to computational mathematicians. Relative to adjunct professor or junior researcher salaries, it's a fortune. And that's before you've proven yourself successful. I was being hyperbolic, but not completely. I lament that finance and tech slurp up all the scientists, as I love science. It doesn't pay off for nearly as many people as the alternatives, though.
