Naa. I'm at the library right now, finishing up something for Friday. But if I was drinking, you could be sure that I would probably have two for you.
Cheers mate.

They all ask for experience. In the end I've found it's a matter of who you know.
But it must be hard finding jobs, when you're a math major. Are you teaching already?

Originally posted by LundosNo, I'm not the teaching type. I tried to be more of an applied mathematician. It's kind of hard to make a living as a pure mathematician, unless you want to teach.

Right now, I'm in environmental planning. I figured that it would combine both my math and biology background so that it doesn't feel like I wasted five years of my life. 😲

How does that work (environmental planning)? People are big on the enviroment in Denmark, so you should come here.

It's really interesting.
