Is this a valid plan to make it? Anonymous 2016-08-11 04:46:34 Post No. [Report]

Currently in a sub-100 school in the US (Ranked 103, but the university has been making leaps and bounds trying to get placed in the top 25 for some reason).

I'm a mathematics undergrad (and currently homeless because lolnomoneys for housing of any sort). Is math my passion? No. Do I like math? Not really, but I need a profitable career. I would prefer computer science, but I feel like I can audit courses in that or something.

Anyway, they offer services to boost their students to top ranked grad schools and all that jazz. Currently I intend to get counseling (I'm a sophomore) to get a Top 10 grad. school admission and try to get on a startup/big fuggin company, depending, depending on the startup.

Is Mathematics a field you can succeed in if you're genuinely uninterested/dislike higher level mathematics.

Grad school is a waste of time. You can get 100k+ jobs right out of college with a CS degree.

I unfortunately couldn't declare CS as a major; the Engineering college was full, and CS is under their jurisdiction. Also I realized >>1437184
got slaughtered during my deleting a line, and I screwed up the entire bottom half of the post.

If you just want that there money you study applied math and well you should probably know what kind of job you are actually looking for before proceeding.

I would highly advise you do not listen >>1437186 to this without confirming it is actually true.

And how do I do that? I'm graduating in December.
I think typical starting salary is $50k-$60k.

Learn something more useful than being a code monkey, and be prepared to relocate.

>>1437186
Grad school is somewhat important if you want to enter more advanced fields of CS. If you just want to do vanilla software engineering, but more specialized stuff an advanced degree helps.

Easy.

>and be prepared to relocate.
To where? I live in commuting distance of Boston. Do I really have to move across the country to Silicon Valley?

Thanks for the tip, looks promising. Wouldn't have even thought about Facebook to be honest.
