Third bachelors degree so I can get a job :o

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on an individual with two bachelor's degrees in philosophy and religious studies seeking advice on pursuing a third degree in mathematics or physics to enhance job prospects. They express interest in online education and inquire about the significance of degree origins, community college attendance, and the importance of school rankings. Participants emphasize that while physics may not lead directly to employment, mathematics is more marketable. They also suggest that the reputation of the institution matters less for undergraduate degrees compared to graduate programs.

  • Understanding of online degree programs in mathematics and physics.
  • Familiarity with the job market for STEM graduates, particularly in engineering and computer science.
  • Knowledge of school rankings and their impact on graduate school admissions.
  • Basic comprehension of the differences between mathematics and physics as academic disciplines.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research accredited online mathematics degree programs.
  • Explore job opportunities in engineering and computer science fields.
  • Investigate the importance of undergraduate institution reputation for graduate school applications.
  • Learn about the curriculum and career paths associated with a mathematics degree versus a physics degree.
USEFUL FOR

I have read Calculus by Spivak and understood it all.

I'm curious to know how long that took.

there are universities that use spivak's book so assuming an intro to calc is 1 year, then it perhaps it took 1 year for him. But of course different people study at different speeds.
