- nmrm2 11y ago> accounting has nothing to do with maths. Sure, but like I said, with a Mathematics degree you can self-study and get an intro-level position pretty quickly. Otherwise, I guess you can go to grad school or become a teacher? Or, certain types of software developers get to do interesting math as well.
- S4M 11y agoI am not interested in doing anything related to accounting, except for my own business. > Or, certain types of software developers get to do interesting math as well. Yes! But sadly, those type of positions are rarely advertised - well, you could say that Quants and Data Scientists are some kind of software developers as well, but the maths needed in other fields are kept very secret. Now, I am not looking for a job at the moment - I graduated in 2006 and am working on my own thing now (maths related) - but I was just lamenting that people complain that more mathematicians are needed without providing concrete jobs for them.
