Mathematician

    Thanks for the link. I handed this out to my students and it generated a nice discussion.

    I'd have to agree with the article - I'm a mathematician and I've been in working in industry for 25 years now and I'm quite happy. I get paid well and I get to do math. What's not to love?

    I am a mathematical statistician with a major Federal agency. I'm not going to get rich, but on the other hand, I am making low six figures. Good benefits, low stress, and the best part is that I get to stare at a computer screen and watch numbers scroll by all day.
