Math Majors

Name: Anonymous 2007-06-02 16:48 ID:XtZAb1xH

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?

i just finished finished my degree and waiting for the results. majority (75%) of maths graduates go into the financial sector i.e investment banking, actuary etc. i am applying to a few companies except they all want a 2:1 degree. one of the two exams i at the end of this term went horribly wrong, which has a very high chance of bringing me down to a 2:2.
