Agree. Saw that as a math major undergrad, there were some people with more of an engineering bent who just crushed multivariable calc, differential equations stats and numerical methods, but then just got stuck at abstract algebra and point set topology proofs and stuff because there was no concrete application or “real world” anchor for the work.
