Math Majors

Hey /sci/, I know that there many intelligent people on this board since every math question gets at least one, correct, serious response, no matter how difficult.

I'm majoring in math right now as an undergrad, I was planning on becoming a professor. But I'm wondering if I'm chasing a pipe dream by trying to do this. I mean I'm certainly no genius, and maybe i should really be thinking of money and how I'm going to support myself rather than pursuing something that i love.

I'll be honest, what really got me thinking about this was this article: http://philip.greenspun.com/careers/women-in-science

What are your opinions? For those of you that are majoring in math, what do you plan to do once you graduate?

well in my admittedly remote area, a bachelor is all you need -- I mean they have to pay loads extra to fly people in if they can't get some local guy to do a course or two as a casual employee

Anyway you don't need a fucking PhD to teach some math-phobic adult how to do fractions all over again, let alone how to make a depreciation schedule table.  may as well require a Phd for pipefitting and chefs, christ
