^ I lol'd.
I was about 15 credits short of a masters in information assurance, I guess I never saw the advantage of getting it for what I want to do in my career.

What do you want to do with a Masters or PhD in math or econ?

[cudvig]

Well it would be more of an applied mathematics rather than pure math. Pure math is a little abstract and I'm unsure if I want to pursue that. What I would be doing is financial mathematics. It would be helpful in my actuarial career.

Pursuing a PhD in Economics would help as well, obviously not as much. I just find economics fascinating! Not sure about what I could do to pay for it maybe become a TA or get some sort of assistantship for the program. That is my only worry at this point. I will be exhausting my GI bill later next year.

Better start applying for scholarships and create your own math!

I suggest starting at where Einstein left off. Or dive into string theory.

My brother inlaw is an assistant county prosecutor, has been for 15 years, makes less than me. Another friend of mine is a patent attorney, and yes, they make stupid money. There's a big range in the law practice, just depends on which direction you head.

Wow Patent Attorney for the win: http://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/patent-attorney-salary-SRCH_KO0,15.htm

Yeah I'm not too worried about salaries... although they do make some crazy dollar amounts. Doesn't seem too out of reach either..

I'd stick to a career of a criminal. No degree needed, no taxes need to be paid. :hah:

I'd go more for what you love than the dollar, that comes when you do what you love.
