If I told you the job prospects in math and econ right now were dismal, would you switch majors? If so, why? If you still have three years of undergrad left, you are quite young, which means you have many years yet ahead in which to betray your passion for a good paycheck. It sounds like you...
Presumably you meant, "There seem to be many people [having difficulty] finding jobs in their chosen profession, or for some people find a job at all."?
When you say "data science" I assume you mean things like pattern recognition, machine learning and in general ways of developing algorithms to find patterns in large data sets?
If so, this is a well-established field you can study at the graduate level in C.S. or E.E. departments. I can't...
Thanks much for the feedback.
>>>The good thing is there seems to be a lot of jobs but when you say you have "A LOT" to learn it worries me.
When I say "A LOT", I'm not daunted by the amount of learning that lies ahead of me, but I know there are many students who know far more than I...
Hello,
I am a second year master's student at a so-so engineering program, and am trying to determine what the downside to finishing my degree sooner rather than later might be (if any).
My undergraduate major was physics with a math minor (beyond the substantial math I learned, I have yet...
Systems biology, eh? I've been looking into that area on various department websites, and that's pretty much the direction I would like to go in, but god will I ever have to step up my programming skills and knowledge of advanced math. I have a strong basis in probability and statistics, but a...
I'm a first time poster, long-time lurker on these forums, and I'm seeking advice on how best to prepare myself to be a strong candidate for graduate studies in biochemistry. Here goes, another person putting their life story in a thread hoping for answers. Bear with me if you're interested...
