The lead-up describes somebody who definitely seems destined for research work, PhD, think-tank analyst, that kind of thing. It's not surprising that a run-of-the-mill code-slinging J.O.B is a terrible fit and I feel bad about it - but it's never too late to change paths. Why not make an effort to steer out of the situation into a career that is a better fit? You smashed a multivariable calculus course in less than a week and here you are working next to people who barely scraped through a general arts degree. It's painful to even hear about.

I can say that my experience with mathematics has been very similar up until a certain point during my undergraduate years when money became really tough for me. All the stress and uncertainty ate me up and I ended up feeling a lot like his later self much earlier than at a run-of-the-mill job. There simply aren't enough spots in academia and during graduate school a big portion of people like us don't get paid enough to get by. I'd say most of us burn up before they get to the end.
