| Feb 11, 2012 at 23:10 | comment | added | Alan | @Gerhard I look at it this way: If nothing else, I would enjoy dedicating at least five years of my life learning mathematics. At the end of the day though, I still have to make a living. Although I could see myself possibly doing quantitative finance or data analysis, I wouldn't want to waste educational years on these subjects. I would rather study precisely what I wanted and pick applications up as I go as they were necessary. | |
