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?

1. Learn Arabic
2. Apply to the NSA
3. ?????
4. Profit (a lot)

In all seriousness, the above will get you loaded, but being a professor is good money as it is. I'm going to be one, don't give it up because of money if it's what you really want to do.
