Get Bachelor's in Mathematics

Become actuary or learn programming or better work as machine learning in actuary.

sorry kiddo, but your no name college probably wont get you places for any major.

>Applebees

Wanna know how I know you're lying?

Learn to program and get a software job. It's what most of the math majors I know do. That or actuary/business analyst.

Am I gonna be this fucked if I do a lot of numerical analysis/optimization/stats/stochastics kind of courses or do employers actually care about those kind of skills at undergrad level?

i graduated with a bachelors in math and i got a job just fine, tons of places for mathematicians in aerospace

How do I start applying for internships? Most internships want career specific degrees (finance ones at least). I want to do something finance related but I could apply for internships in almost any career and I don't know where to start.

Those are absolutely the right courses to take. Use those skills to do some personal projects so that you can post them on your github. You will find plenty of work if you can actually use your skills.

The job market is really saturated with normie STEM memers right now. You need to have a good GPA to stand out. Ideally you will do well and a professor will bring you onto his team so you can do a masters for free. Profs know a lot of people in industry and will hook you up

Or you can just get lucky and find an internship over the summer but good luck because these are getting harder to come by

Let's see Paul Allen's card

I've zero degrees going for me besides a high-school diploma.Every single position I've landed was because of my portfolio/github.

Get a job in China, live like a king.

Avoid Beijing, too much smog, anywhere else is fine, in a shabby, rude, third world kind of way. But did I mention that the girls are all thin? All of them?

STEMED.COM

bachelors in anything other than engineering is meme tier

get your phd

Fair enough, it's just that I notice for a lot of higher end stats/data science kind of jobs the recruiters seem to mindlessly be looking for graduate degrees without actually giving a shit that you might have the requisite skills for the job with an undergrad and maybe some self study. It's not like they wouldn't take a look at your resume if it's interesting but it seems you already start at a disadvantage.

I should add, it seems like they don't even give a shit about the specifics for a lot of jobs and just want a graduate degree in something "mathy", whether it is CS, applied math, stats, whatever the fuck. There is such a wide array of knowledge there that they might accept people whose grad degree has nothing to do with the job and ignore people without the grad degree who have the skills, which is pretty frustrating.

you didn't learn marketable skills and you didn't market yourself. It's not STEM's fault or our fault.

STEM is Science Tech Eng and Math, not Science Tech Eng or Math. You only get 1/4 with a Math degree

Now, why the fuck do you want a job? Stuff? Things?

You faggot.

>EM

I would throw your card in the trash in front of you

r8 my meme dregree

I'm sure this will set me up to get my dream job

I'll hire you senpai :D

>bachelor's in mathematics without double majoring/minoring in actuarial science with no intent to get your master's/phd and do research
What the fuck were you thinking?

dude just apply for jobs. Lots of aerospace companies (lockheed, northrop, Boeing, BAE, airbus) all have development programs to help train you

>take career advice from people who has time to waste on an anime image board

to be fair, they're right, it is the future. HOWEVER it's not a future with room for everyone. Not yet at least. Things may be different in 20 years when digitalization will force governments in developed countries implement basic income. Until then, good luck finding a job where your co-workers didn't study at a community college.

>people all think that will be them

If you do STEM, be prepared to fucking move. And I'm not talking about the town next to yours.

Got a bachelor's in English with a minor in Geology in May. Got employed as a patent researcher with possibility of advancement to a patent writer at $100,000-150,000 a year.

Any degree is valid for work so long as you know how to look.

Just curious, does the exact same apply but switch China for Russia?

indeed, he should have studied business instead

yes

Your resume is probably dog shit, I mean go read it yourself, are you even trying?

What is your specialisation? economics, statistics, informatics, chemistry, anything?

>You guys promised me that STEM was the wave of the future. Why did you lie?
STEM means engineering, not math

this

the first 3 preliminary SOA actuarial exams are easy as fuck.

>tfw i work as CS programmer with only high school level

I minored in CS and did alright, might have gotten lucky though.

Rumor on the street is that actuary work is hella boring and soul crushing.

Did you do any internships? Did you do research with your professors?

Haha silly user

Didn't realize that only superior CS majors get jobs straight out of college

>You think I'm memeing because CS majors are hated on Veeky Forums but I'm not

>CS programmer
user...

just apply for ibanking if you go to a good school

I've known a lot of people, myself included, who found jobs after their math bachelor's

Also Applebee's doesn't have cashiers wth

>going to a school that has an actuarial science dept

sounds brainlet in here

>Graduate ChemE
>Realize I hate industrial facilities
>Can't find decent ChemE jobs outside those that don't require 3+ years experience
>Probably going to take an offer to be a research associate for 57k
>Also in a high cost of living area so that's pretty mediocre for engineering, not having "engineer" in my title probably cost me 20k
>Company is a biotech company looking at automation, seriously hoping I can work here for 1-2 years before moving to an automation engineer role

can I switch China for Canada?

>majoring in actuarial science
This is a dumb option unless you are actually somehow such a huge insurance nerd that you would rather spend your time analyzing pensions instead of taking pure math courses.
Nobody at an actuarial firm gives two shits if you majored in it or not as long as you have exams, and taking courses will consume significantly more time than just preparing for them yourself.

Damn, yer a monster. Well done.

>Did you do research with your professors?
How do you even do this in mathematics? What would your professors possibly need an undergrad's assistance with? You probably wouldn't even be able to understand whatever they're working on.

>tfw CS is really the only way to go

You should've studied engineering or medicine.
Those fields actually bring in the STEM bucks.

i'm in ECE but generally we don't expect undergrad to know shit or accomplish anything significant. it's more about recruiting them for grad school. same thing applies to internships

>get degree in engineering
>get job as a physicist
>cuck some pure sciencefag out of a job
Such is the life of the engineer master race

What field of engineering?

spbp

nuclear of course

What's the pay like?

Less than I would make as an engineer at a power plant, but more than the engineers my age that I work with (they're mechanical/industrial engineers).

Doesn't sound too shabby, user.
