    Getting a maths degree.

    After work.

    Keeping in mind I am borderline retarded but its always something I've wanted to understand better.

    maybe i'll settle for some half assed 'data analysis' or 'IT' course..

    Ideas ?

    Is there such a thing as a maths degree? I've never heard of it.

    And I don't think you'd spend $20,000 over three years just to "get a better idea" of something.

    Anyway, I work during the day and study at night. It's hard but you get used to it.
    Is it burnin'? Well, f-ck, now you're learnin'.

    Yes. You can get a degree in mathematics.

    George, if you can do it, go for it. I know several people with advanced degrees who got their jobs b/c of their undergraduate training in math. Its relatively rare and commands really good wages if you are good at it.

    BTW I'm ugly as hell, I don't get any benefits for being cute.

    If you're interested in mathematics, whether pure or applied, go for that - not "data analysis" or "IT". They are completely different subjects. A pure mathematics degree can include little to no computer or 'tech' stuff, depending on where you go and what type of curriculum they have.

    Indi, would you mind posting about what your friends are doing who did undergraduate degrees in math?

    PS Math and mathematically-minded guys are not repulsive to all girls

    I agree with lovesjoy that math geeks are in no way repulsive.
