what about math degree A math degree is not that employable

Transcript

A math degree is not that employable until. Unless you get a master's or maybe even a PhD. But by itself, a math degree is not that employable. All the jobs you could get with a math degree, you could get with another degree. That's all I have to say. I personally don't think someone should major in math because they could major in statistics for something else if they want to. I don't know, become an actuary or do something else. Like, you could do something else, unless you really love math. If you really love math, go do math. But a math degree is not that. It's not that. It's not that employable, okay? Like, like you could, you could do other things. You would have to prove that your math works. An engineering degree is way better than a math degree, okay? Any engineering degree, okay? So, because at least it's applied. Applied math is even better than a math degree. Statistics is better. Just major in stat, bro.
