I'd like to add a question to my OP. I'm tossing around the idea of becoming a physician assistant and have heard anecdotes of publishing in medical journals from that position, but I can't find any info on that anywhere. Thoughts?
Ok thanks. I plan on doing it part time until I'm financially independent (hopefully in my later 30's), at which point I will pursue it full-time. That's the plan at least. I'll have to settle with making a blog probably.
I plan to learn the subjects involved on my own time and throughout many years. I'm not suggesting I hope to understand anything without background information.
Alright fair enough. If I ever found something noteworthy and wanted to appeal to the scientific community then my best bet would be to catch the attention of someone who could end up publishing something? Is it possible to network as an amateur?
I don't know if I'm stating it accurately. Secondary research articles may be a better phrase - basically an interpretation of several primary research articles. Those are also written by experts?
Basically, if I made a reasonable interpretation or hypothesis based on existing data, would it...
I haven't convinced myself, I'm looking for someone to show how I couldn't do it in case I overlooked something. To me it seems reasonable I could get the same knowledge with enough time and effort, but the question of whether or not I could ever get published is less certain for instance.
I'll...
Open access journals and papers are free (usually), and considering they are becoming the future predominant medium of scientific literature, I stand a good chance at having free access to most science literature in the next decade or so.
Additionally, I'd have significantly more money than I...
Background: I'm in my senior year as an accounting undergrad and plan to stay in the program and the field until I can become financially independent, hopefully very early in my life. I don't have a passion for accounting anything like what I do for science, health, and medicine (of which I've...
Well that's certainly helpful to know so thanks for your input. Probably the only thing in the way of math I'd consider for now then is a second bachelors in it. But that doesn't even have much of an added value with employment does it?
Trust me I'm glad to be prepared to know that kind of thing. I was told on another forum that with about 18 credits in the right math subjects I would be able to apply to most grad schools (and yes I only have Calc 1 under my belt). Is that off? I think a minor is 15 credits and I was just going...
Thanks. I've actually run across all those links before but I guess they still don't tell me what I want to know. Maybe I'm looking for personal experiences from people who have been in a math program and are now looking for employment, or know others in that situation.
Right now I'm in my junior year working on an accounting degree, but I'm finding this clearly isn't my passion. I'll still finish for the degree because I believe it has value, but I plan to also minor in math and then apply to a masters in math program.
I've had a lot of questions about the...
