@JHS Seems strange that you are angry because your/your spouses’ careeers weren’t mentioned. Ah hello this thread is about math.
As a matter of fact no one said anywhere in this thread that other careers were not rewarding or lucrative. I am not in a math field any longer, but I do recognize that math and STEM are closely related. I also recognize that not every thing someone says in favor of another career choice isn’t a criticism of me. Talk about ego centrism.
I also am of the opinion that every career can be rewarding and lucrative. And fulfilling.
So good for your spouse. And it’s really not about who works for whom but about life choices. It’s not about who has the most toys but about how they passed thru life.
