<p>This is a ridiculous thread. Who even says you need to get a PhD in Math in order to get a job? There are tons of jobs out there for Math majors with a BS or MS. If you want to teach at a university, then yes, go for the PhD, and while I don’t think it is necessarily as impossible as a lot of you guys make it out to be (remember, you’ll have 6 years of prior experience working with math and theory), it will definitely be hard and that is just the sheer nature of a freaking PhD.</p>
