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?"

    Your post is Offtopic and un-Insightful and relates in no way to the Parent post. You merely posted here because you knew you were more likely to get Mod points. Let's be honest with ourselves and stop Gaming the system.

    Wrong. My post is directly related to the parent post. Secondly I'm not positioning myself for Karma; I would expect the possibility of getting modded Offtopic myself to be high. Unlike you I don't feel compelled to post as an AC; if people don't like me then they can Foe me and leave me posting at -1 Karma. You are sad for your dishonest Troll (and I suspect that you are the GP here, but yeah that's just a guess).
