[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can easily get a finance or banking job with a Math degree.

Lol could you imagine someone thinking a business degree is better.[/quote]

When did the tide turn on math degrees? I have one, always keep that to myself. Polite society will act impressed but they're genuinely disgusted. Business degree passes the airport test.[/quote]
I would be impressed with someone who has a a math degree, and I have a business degree + some coding experience.  DC is a dual math/cs major. I find it impressive.[/quote]

My DC is as well. I wouldn't discourage anyone from studying math. But in my experience it does not sell itself. This was never a secret, every department head had a spiel about glad handers and how math grads have to forge their own path and convince recruiters. I heard this as recently as DC's orientation two years ago. This time they seemed to be saying we still see push back but our students go far. I'll believe it when I see it, because the math majors I've known have had a hard time transitioning to the workforce.[/quote]
