| While it may be true that students should show initiative in selling themselves for jobs, and be prepared to make compromises, etc., it's also true that the mathematics major has failed to provide its students with the same sort of industry opportunities as some other related disciplines, including:
economics / finance
engineering
computer science
Students in those majors have it much easier than math majors. Is that fair? Well, life isn't fair, but does that mean that people can't complain about it? |
