I've basically worked myself into a position at my job that would look for PhD or well-authored graduate degree holders, I feel like being hired for a similar job would be impossible. So for now I'll just sit tight, but if anything changes I might just take a few years off of work and go back to school and get a docterate.
Why do a graduate degree? Because what you learn in undergrad is not enough for the type of jobs that require a masters or a phd? Duh?
Just an aside. "Computational trash" is more a reference to how the subject of math is taught than a reference to the underlying math. I used to jerk it to numerical analysis at least twice a day and its "computational" so its not that i am putting down computational mathematics, its just that the way these topics are usually taught is a fucking crime.
Twice a day. There is something sexy about building a theoretical model and then writing a computational approximation of it.
Not really, I worked 10 years then quit and went back to law school. I had fun in school too, it was great.
Thats silly. You either took a class that was nothing but memorizing computational algorithms or you took a class that was only theory with zero attempts to model it. A fail numerical analysis class all around most likely.
You're making a lot of assumptions here, many things can impact why someone does or doesn't like their class.
Well, I sue big banks over housing market stuff and sue huge tech companies over patents, so you guys probably all agree with the souls I'm sucking.
My assumption is based on him saying that it wasnt real math. To me that means one of two things:
I know personally I was so tired of school that there would be no way I could've done a few more years after graduating.
