And his input on the subject was more than appreciated. Unrelated accusations of a gimmi-gimmi attitude just because I have a degree isn't, in my opinion. My tone about my degree? I don't have any delusions that having a degree makes me better than anyone; quite contrary. It's MUCH easier to be...
Strange I just wrote out why I chose math and it didn't post... but anyway:
I chose math planning to go into actuarial work. I interned a year at Manulife financial and planned on doing insurance actuary work. If that failed to interest me I was going to do quantitative analysis somewhere...

I studied to the best of my abilities, and my final conclusion was that if I wanted to have any recognition of education, be it in the form of my paycheck, rank or job it would have to be as an officer doing, according to the recruiting page, lots of administrative work. My question is just...
A fair point with a simple answer: I love mathematics. Not to mention originally my plan was actuarial or quantitative analysis work. But really math is the most interesting thing in the world for me, so it naturally became my subject of study. But realistically there aren't that many...
Hi,
I have considered joining the military for some time and was wondering what would be the best way to take advantage of my bachelors degree without being in an administrative position. I will have an undergraduate degree in mathematics at the end of this year. My ultimate interest (and...
