Hi everyone.
I am a third year maths major, at a very small university. I know the chances of me becoming a mathematician (my dream) are, if not zero, then very close to it. So should I waste my parents money and go on to get a phd in mathematics (if I'm good enough), and then get a dead-end job I don't enjoy and pays little (where do maths phds work?), or should I just get my undergrad degree, and then do something like engineering, or accounting or something?
What do you guys think?
