Quoted for truth, especially in finance -a friend was trained as an Algebraic Geometer



I’m actually rather into algebraic geometry myself – did this friend perchance find a way to realize a career such that it was in tune with his mathematical interests? That is, did they actually need him to be a trained algebraic geometer in his profession?

I know very little about careers for mathematicians outside of academia, which would necessarily deal with the flavor of mathematics I am into. I’d appreciate any info out there.
