Fun Things To Do With a Math Or Science Degree?

bxwatso writes "My niece just took the ACT and got a perfect score on the math section. 25 years ago, when I took the test, the kids who aced the math section were pretty special. Her score, combined with straight A's so far in high school, suggest to me that she might be able to go to a top university (MIT?) based on her math aptitude. The rub is that she doesn't like math or science, even though she finds them easy. She doesn't want to be an engineer or scientist. I thought the folks here would be a great group to ask: What are some creative, not too nerdy professions that nonetheless require a talent for math, engineering, or science?"

Those tabs don't add themselves, you know.

And it's definitely not nerdy.

7 + 6 + 6 = 19

...so to be denied tenure at 35, after having spent 19 years working for it, means you started gradschool at, um, 16 years old? Hmmm. Maybe math skills would be useful at Slashdot too.

Haha, you hicks in flyover territory never fail to amuse me. "I could be a dancer if I wanted" "I could be an architect if I wanted" well guess what buddy you're not good enough, that's why you're not up on that stage under the bright lights. If you've been doing a dance for 3 years, and go see some REAL dancers, then those "errors" that they make are probably types of expression that your tiny Bush-voting mind cannot comprehend. Move out of the sticks and get some culture, and we'll talk.
