[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My rising senior is set on majoring in pure math, despite my engineer husband encouraging him to do something more practical. His goal is to get his PhD and teach. I worry about his options, but I also want to support him. I have a friend with a PhD in pure math who works for Amazon now and makes a great salary. I'm sure he can pivot if he decides academia isn't an option. There are certainly worse options than math.[/quote] He'll honestly be fine. A lot of the people I knew who were committed and went on to PhD ended up with great careers in finance and a few went into data science. One even became a professor, but the probability of becoming one is startling low.[/quote]
