I am looking to make a career shift.
I am looking for a career track with the following characteristics:
1) Heavy use (and need to learn) advanced mathematical concepts (especially symbolic in nature). I want to be working with equations and logic in a symbolic manner on a daily basis.
2) A career in which the theories are readily tested/testable. I may or may not want to do the testing, depending on how tedious it is. If it is tedious to test, I would rather not. If the testing is easy or fun, I like having the immediate feedback.
3) A career where the work will be of great significance to humanity. --The potential for ground breaking discoveries or inventions that move society forward.
Any suggestions?Also, what credentials would I need to obtain to enter these fields?
So far, I have:
A B.S. in Computer Engineering
A B.S. in Applied Discrete Mathematics
An M.S. in Electrical Engineering
8+ years in Integrated Circuits industry
