Ask Slashdot: What To Do With a Math Degree? 416
First time accepted submitter badmojo17 writes "After achieving her lifelong dream of becoming a public school math teacher, my wife has found the profession to be much more frustrating than she ever expected. She could deal with having a group of disrespectful criminals as students if she had competent administrators supporting her, but the sad truth is that her administration causes more problems on a daily basis than her students do. Our question is this: what other professions are open to a bright young woman with a bachelor's degree in math and a master's degree in education? Without further education, what types of positions or companies might be interested in her as an employee?"

Same here, BS in Applied Math and I do embedded software.
I never actually use the math I learned, except when I go off on a tangent....

mine is only socially awkward homeschooling byproduct.
You posted a picture of your wife to Slashdot. Nerd feels need to show off his trophy (such as it is).
Homeschooling explains why your wife looks like a dolt. Lesson to nerd parents: don't homeschool your children unless you want fully socialized adults to always explain their deficiencies as a product of homeschooling and/or you want them to marry Slashdot nerds.
I find it amusing (read sad) you believe your wife is "above average". Her looks are fairly plain and she's small-chested, though her left tricep suggests she would win an arm-wrestle with women I consider "above average".
