That's what I tried to do. Ended up falling behind in a CS class and stopped putting in effort because I thought it was going to just be extra credentials. As it turns out, they would have been my only credentials.

double majoring from shit colleges doenst count

>>9017980
It's easy to do CS and Math double major if you programmed in high school.

Programming is easy as fuck OP. Lot's of places don't care if you have a degree or not.

I majored in triple integrals and got $500k starting.

What's wrong with working with high school bitches as a guy with a math? I'm 26 and all I have to my name is a 35 on the ACT and all these girls want my babies.

Gotta capitalise. Having a worthless degree is still something to those with nothing. Just don't be snarky n shit like saying I went to colleegggee all the fuckin time

Nigger you'll be lucky if you don't run out of the money over the course of your lifetime living in Bumfuck, Missouri. I hope you don't plan on having a child.

>>9018106
Uh, wrong. Most programming positions (even entry level) I find on Indeed list that you must have at least 2 years of experience. Offical experience, not "I coded in high school."

Are you fucking retarded?

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/debunking-the-myth-of-the-8-return-2013-02-27

Your father obviously didn't teach you shit about economics works either.

I'm beginning to wonder if your story is actually true or not. Are YOU fucking retarded, anon?

>>9018312
5 years

I did a little HTML and CSS in my sophmore year, not bragging coz' I was awful. Is it normal to suck even at HTML? Then again, I was a total lazy ass who didn't practice nor try and learn from other sources.

>>9017961
>You finished an undergraduate degree in mathematics, making you a trained professional in analysis, algebra and topology

>Then you decided that the best place to apply analysis, algebra and topology was high school

Nah man, you can only blame yourself for being that fucking retarded.

It is like me getting a degree in biology, and then getting hired at a physics lab and expecting to earn more than peanuts and expecting to do more than clean glassware or something. Top kek.

Get a job on what you trained for. Terence Tao right now is lmaoing at your life while earning 500 thousand dollars.

>>9018366
It's hard to suck at it per se, but web development is about as fun as getting murdered. I don't blame you for not being invested in it.

>>9017961
Is an appiled math minor enough?

>>9018336
>Stocks are volatile, and even though they earned 8.6% after inflation historically, with volatility one's wealth would've only grown at a rate of 6.5%.
Oh boo hoo, that's only $585k Even if we use the author's retarded underestimate at 2%- because obviously we're all cucks who are going to lose money and abandon stocks in later life- that's still 180k/y, which is 3.2 times larger than the median household income in America.

>>9018376
Doing web dev internship this summer, can confirm.

>>9018048
shit I aint a financial advisor, but put that shit away. 30 year government bonds are yielding 2.9% per year. If you put 4.5 mil in those bonds, you'd be getting 130,500 per year just sitting on the money. Put the other 4.5 in an index fund (like QQQ). Gotta make that money last senpai; if you do it right, you can live comfortably and laugh at the wagies everyday

When in doubt:

1) Strive for your ideal place. Remember, those that try to achieve their dreams must go through hardships.

2) That which is dreamed cannot be grasped by force, but work towards it, day after day, and you will find it in your hands

3) Do not compare yourself with others, do only what you can do.

4) To see it through, patience is important

5) When traditional and modern powers mingle, the gate to an unseen world will open

6) No matter how far you go, you must remember that you will still make mistakes and that is fine as long as you have the wisdom to push through. The path to your goals never ends.

7) Connect with other people and your dreams will grow

And absolutely never forget:

>>9018626
Sounds like a copy pasta

if you passed 3 actuary exams and landed 1 internship, you would've gotten a job. if you've taken some useful classes you would've gotten some data science internships. or you're a fucking troll because mathematics is among the most employable hard science degrees with just a bachelors.

>>9018316
I've played tis-100

is that experience?

A Math BSc is not worth anything. You need to go further.

And you need to be good. Mediocre grades won't get you anywhere.

>>9019076

It's funny how pure meth fags hate applied fields, which are more employable.

OP could be employed now in Software Industry if OP had a minor in Computer Science.

>>9019079
Math graduates can still get some financial job such Accountant/Book Keeper without a PhD.
Of course OP should have a Minor in Finance or Economics.

>Grad School
A Low GPA in Math is useless because you can not get into a Grad School with a Low GPA.

If you have high GPA then fine you can get into a Grad School with Scholarship.

Math Graduate School has Very High Drop Out rates just like Undergraduate Engineering.

So even if you go to Math Grad School, you still has a high risk of Failure.

It's why a backup Plan B is very important.
The Plan B is minor.

The minor should be an employable applied field.

>>9021786
Can you explain how minors make someone employable? I keep reading that minors are pretty much worthless in any industry, as employers will always prefer someone with a bachelor rather than a minor. You're the first one I see who suggests otherwise.

>>9017961 >>9021786 >>9021799
>I'll explain below

Many minors could be useful in Research but Should be done Only when you have 100% confidence that you will get accepted into Grad school.

A Minor in Physics could open the doors for Research in Theoretical & Mathematical Physics.

For Example: Linguistics, Psychology, Philosophy & Foreign language could be useful to Research Artificial Intelligence.

Philosophy could be useful for those who can get into Law School.

Chemistry, Biology or ChemE could be useful for those who can get into Medical School.

However if you have a Low GPA these minors will not help you to get employed.

A better employable Plan B should be a Minor in:
(1) Computer Science to Work as Programmar
(2) Finance/Economics to Work as BusinessMan
(3) Statistics

There are also other options to consider that I didn't mentioned.

>>9021809
is this that ugly reddit spacing? and what is up with that capitalization?

Summary >>9021799

Employable Plan B should be:
Double Major in > Minor in:
(1) Computer Science to Work as Programmar
(2) Business/Finance/Economics to Work as BusinessMan
(3) Statistics

Double Major is more safe guaranteed than just Minor.

A Minor in Engineering may be useless.
However a Double major in Engineering could save your Life.

Engineering are one of most employable STEM fields.
Just be careful to don't choose meme Engineering areas.
As for example Biomedical E which would require Graduate Degree.
Just a Biomedical BSc is useless & will make you unemployed.

>>9021816
You can tell someone hasn't gone to college when they still don't know subjects start with capital letters.

>>9021818
>>9021809
How much does a minor add to college?
I mean, let's say to get a bachelor I need 100%. I'd assume a double bachelor would take 200% time. How much would a ba+minor take? 110%? 125%?

>>9021824
about 110% (usually adds a semester)

>>9018407
Did web dev internship last summer, can confirm.

>Not double majoring math and statistics
>Not going into finance or becoming an actuary
Are you a meme

>>9017961
You could at the very least become a math teacher in secondary education. Not a great job but definitely better than working at McDonald's.

>>9018314

>>9021818
What are some good double major combinations for high employment under the instance I don't want to be a statician or businessperson?

I was thinking EE and CS double, but would it just be better to just do CE? Double engineering sounds interesting too, but how difficult would that be, and what are good doubles to pursue?

>>9022768
double majoring is completely unnecessary, don't listen to that moron.
make yourself employable for what you want to be, and you'll get the job. this involves taking relevant courses, doing projects, and doing internships.
