My biggest fear as math student right now is ending up as a high school teacher. I realized this after graduating but the majority of students dont even pay attention to you and I feel like I would be wasting my time. I know some of you love teaching but that's the reality. I would love to be a researcher or an actuary.

That's why I decided to go straight to becoming a professor of math and refuse to ever become a HS teacher permanently. You're very right about that. At least at the college level you'll run into a lot more students that DO care. Especially in classes like calculus. At least that's what I've seen.

I don't think that's a legitimate concern for anyone, unless everyone in this chain is talking about stopping at a bachelor. In which case, yes a high school teacher is a very possible outcome/trap if that's where you end your studies. A different major would be a wise choice (like physics) if you are early enough in your bachelor's.

I took eight mechanical engineering classes after getting my masters in math. Couldn't find work in math without teaching, so I tried engineering classes. Many in the class were weak at math and the math they used wasn't too intense in free body diagrams and stuff. I thought I'd get a mechanical technician job or something by now. I read about a new mechanical engineer that couldn't find work until he got trained in cnc machining. I guess you train until you die.

I think it's usually the other way round, more so in research. Stand-alone disciplines are getting saturated, be it basic sciences or engineering; being the master-of-one isn't going to be that beneficial because all the low hanging fruits in almost every stand-alone field have already been plucked. Research is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary and, I can't even begin to stress how invaluable a maths(or even a physics) degree can be in preparing someone for this cross-disciplinary paradigm. These subjects train the mind to be comfortable with rigor, which has a huge potential to uncover counterintuitive insights in other fields that are missed by the people in those fields.

Really tough getting a math major as the primary credential scenario past the HR departments in my opinion. Nothing against them, but I think they're trained to look for very specific things. Businessmen hire HR departments to look for people who generate money, not people who seek truth in natural phenomena. Of course that's assuming businessmen actually know that math is mostly about proving things. Most of the people I know are not in any kind of scientific field and they have no idea that math is mostly about proofs. They think math majors spend most of their time doing arithmetic in their head. And they figure why hire a person like that when calculators exist?

It is so helpful to have kids learning about careers at an early age-even as young as 3rd and 4th grade we start to introduce children to the possibilities for their future. By 8th grade it is time to give kids a realistic idea of what different careers are like, especially in the day-to-day. So, not too early!

You should contact your career services department at your university to recommend job fairs and resume critiques if you haven't done that already. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. Unfortunately the best thing for landing a job is probably still networking. I got more job offers from going to church than I got anywhere else, and I had a BS in math too. But you will probably need to decide on whether you want to pursue engineering/construction, business/accounting, or computer science/programming. All those fields will probably hire math guys for entry level grunt work positions if you show a lot of interest, but you'll need more schooling in that specific discipline to move up the ladder for sure.

Administrative work is the worst. I hated sitting in the same place for hours and hours after finishing work a machine could do. They even brought me a TV. In the morning it was The Price is Right. In the afternoon it was The News. After lunch it was To Make A Deal. Then Steve Harvey in Family Feud. Right before leaving it was Judge Judy. Every day. I must admit, that probably sounds like "the life" to any ordinary bum and freeloader and even though I was bring home about $1100/$1200 biweekly, I felt disgusted at my situation and instead I decided to go back to college and exercise my true potential. This was working as a front desk clerk for a Behavior Wellness facility in a Clinic a town away from where I live. As a single guy, no children, I decided to play my cards again before completely unplugging my brain and becoming a robot. I hope you find something cool soon. I'd say look into contract work and travel. Teach/tutor online and do your own thing.

I don't mean any offence, and for all I know, you probably have the best, coolest, fun, and most technical IT job where you apply your math skills. I just always find it sad when I see math majors or qualified engineers who worked really hard and had to study really complex subjects, only to become a software engineer. They usually end up doing no better than me, and oftentimes worst. Maybe because when I was little my dad told me to become a mechanical engineer, I decided I love tinkering with computers and pursued a path with the specific goal to be a software engineer. As a natural progression these days I spend most of my time on stuff such as robotic process automation, data science, machine learning - what all the cool kids seem to want to do... But I must say, I think I should have listened to my dad!

It really wasn't clear what the difference between formulaic and conceptual is, but I took it as how people view mathematics and what mathematics actually is. 90% of people think math is all formulaic, but that's like saying biology is formulaic or business management is formulaic. Every single career domain has aspects of both. Mathematics can be much more creative and innovative and "conceptual" than people realize. Mathematicians don't just know how. They know WHY. And that is important to explain to employers who see your background as anything less.

aren't logs handled automatically these days? or were you working on a solution to detect patterns in those logs?

In my experience in this is true only sometimes. It depends on the application/service/etc I was working in web server administration for a hosting/cloud computing division of a company so much of my time was spent addressing/investigating problems and configuration issues in system architecture that arose between the hosted solution and the clients interfacing architecture. Much of the time that meant looking at log files; for internally developed software there were tools to parse logs but you would often have to look at a cluster of individual files around an occurrence and interpret the parsing to figure out what might be going wrong. It was a lot of educated guess work, especially with new integrations that didn’t have well developed logs or documentation for various architectural cases.

ZERO ISN'T POSITIVE, YOU CANT EXCLUDE IT FROM POSITIVE NUMBERS
@CHALKND
@CHALKND 4 жыл бұрын
I’m glad someone was paying attention! And I appreciate the feedback, mostly I say this for emphasis. 😅 Hopefully it’s clear that the exclusion of an element that is not in a set is just equal to the set itself. So {a}\{b} where “\” is the exclusion operator or the “set minus” is just equal to {a} (since b is not an element of {a} ) same as if we exclude 0 from the positive numbers that means that we take ℝ+ or whatever positive numbers you want for that matter and set minus {0} which as you’ve noted 0 is not in the set of positive numbers and thus we end up with the positive numbers that we started with. So the exclusion is not “undefined” as your comment makes it sound and we actually *can* exclude zero from the positive numbers. Does it do anything to the set of positive numbers? No it does not! But, the set operation is still defined 😁😉🤓

This may sound selfish of me but I’m trying to make big bucks. I’m not talking millions here but I’m talking 200k a year eventually if I try hard enough. I know I’ll need allot of schooling and probably a couple of degrees else where. I love math but I just don’t know if most of it will be taken up by computers or ai in the near future. I was also wondering if it’s even remotely probable that this is a big money making subject to pursue and try to grow in? Sorry if this is all cluttered I just love math but I also want to make big money and make a difference in the world somehow

I mean that's fair, money is a thing that people strive for in many different fields, and there are jobs in math related fields that do pretty well. Actuarial Science, Software Development, are well known for paying well they require a bit more skill development in statistics and computer science respectively but mathematical reasoning, I would say, is core to both.

I think the video title should be changed to "What jobs do you QUALIFY for as a mathematics major". A math degree teaches you the conceptual foundations of all the fields mentioned in your video, but doesn't provide you the specific skills on any of them. You can't "get" any of the jobs mentioned, at least not directly after graduation. You would either have to double major in something else during undergrad, pursue higher education in those specific fields or develop those skills on your own time. This is the real blunder of a math degree: jack of all trades, master of none.

I fully agree. Math is wonderful for personal investment and development of thought. But it's really, really bad as a financial investment unless you know you're going to be a university professor for sure. And for me math changed so much from calculus to abstract algebra that by the time I got there I knew I did not want to be a university professor. I'm glad I got a math degree and it did get my foot in the door for an accounting job, but skipping it and getting a degree in accounting or engineering at the beginning would have made more financial sense.

"Math can be considered a foundation for a lot of jobs out there today"? Huh? I've spent my life working in IT, and I can tell you you can get a six figure job as a data analyst - and you *do not need* Calculus, much less Algebra, Trigonometry. I would entitle this video "Math Propaganda for Dummies". The speaker is beholden to this propaganda because he is a) good at it, and b) he admits his parents made money tutoring kids in it. The applications he describes on the chalk board are not widely available positions in our economy, btw. In my experience, Aeronautical engineering is the one field where applied Calculus is still of use.

Understand that. Just majoring in pure mathematics with no applied discipline unfortunately really limits your career path to teaching. I tried teaching after getting my bachelors and hated it so much I took grunt jobs for a while. Eventually I landed an accounting job and decided to go back to school for that. I'll never like accounting as much as math, but at least I feel less stuck now.

In a way you are right. A lot of times that is all you will really use in an industry job outside of R&D, or software development. The goal of this video was more so to give out some ideas of types of jobs to look for if you have/are pursuing a mathematics degree. I often felt that the amount of time spent covering theory in my mathematics undergrad made me feel like there wasn't a real "job path" for math majors and that hit especially hard when I found out I wouldn't be able to afford grad school when I first applied. Through spending sometime in the corporate world and going through the job application process I found that I was just looking in the wrong places and that's what inspired this video.
