Math-related jobs!

[(Anonymous)]

Hey f!s, I was wondering if you could help a buddy out.

So I'm writing a story, and one of the characters is ridiculously good at math. Huge math nerd. Loves numbers. Does complicated equations in his sleep. He has a math-related job, but I can't, for the life of me, figure out what the hell it is (seeing as I'm a wordy-person, not a mathy-person). All I know is that a) it's weirdly lucrative, and b) it would not make sense to anybody who wasn't into numbers. (And I don't think it's the NSA, unless he can work from home, because the story is set a ways away from Maryland, though still in a US analogue.)

Anything that fits the bill?

Sounds like you want an actuarial science grad. They calculate risks (stats and probability) and work in a variety of fields including insurance, sciences and economics. I'm not sure what the titles of the jobs in those fields are. Hopefully someone in those fields recognizes the description and can give you something more concrete.

Oooh! This is actually perfect, thank you! :D (I looked it up on Wikipedia and my first thought was, "Oh my god, this looks like hell. It's perfect.")

Seconding this. Also, while anon below suggested engineering, this engineer is here to tell you we don't actually do much math for the hell of it, and the math we do is fairly simple. So, you'd be better off with actuarial science. :)

Re: Math-related jobs!

How about an engineer? Depending on the field, a lot of the work can be analytical and as long as you have a computer, you can work from almost anywhere, although a lot of companies like their engineers on site. Or there's plenty of coding that can be math heavy - maybe he does accounting software or actuarial tables.

He could be a quant? They earn tons and tend to have advanced math degrees.

Re: Math-related jobs!

[saku]

most math-related professions are usually tied to physics/engineering.

Which crushed my dreams as a bright-eyed college freshman who was awesome at math! ... buuuuut not really any good at science, and therefore got my brain's ass curbstomped into the gutter until I was forced to drop out because there was no way it would be a viable career for me. '^'

Re: Math-related jobs!

[saku]

physics is just visual math, imo. but it's more of an applied kind of math, unless you want to be the pencil-pusher type. there's a big difference between being able to solve calculations and being the one doing the calculating hands-on. i'm really into astrophysics but i'm not very skilled at solving math problems (mostly because i'm only good at what i practice and i never practice math), so my problem is kinda the opposite.

If you give me the equation to solve, I can solve it like a bawss. But when I have to figure out which equation to use, what the variables should be, etc, I suck.
