First off, I have no interest in being a mathematician. Math was always and continues to be quite difficult for me.
So, as an outsider to advanced math, it blows my mind that there are people who’s entire job title is mathematician. How does that work? What does a mathematician do?
Basically the people who do the math on risk management for things like insurance and finance.
It’s typically a very regulated job with tests required for different levels. But the pay is good and it’s one of the highest job satisfaction careers out there.
