Majors you take seriously

To be slightly picky of course, some math majors have no intention of making a career in math. They major in math because they’re smart and enjoy it. Many of them can get quick further 1-2 year degrees in either computer science or financial engineering, and then go make very good money, even more than many engineering majors (the latter could go into investment banking). Some of them go to law school because their heads are naturally wired so they can ace the LSAT, and don’t mind that stuff.

Quoted for truth, especially in finance -a friend was trained as an Algebraic Geometer- but you should have mentioned Biotech!
