What are some ways you can learn & apply mathematics to make money without having a degree? It seems fun to learn math because I haven’t done anything past freshman calculus, but I don’t think it’s worth my time investment if it doesn’t have any real life application

It depends on how autistic you are, knowing a lot of math isn't necessarily useful but can be. But if you're decent the fastest way is not math per se but algorithms, if you have really good problem solving and knowledge of meme programming problems you can get a job at a decent company based on that. This is high skill. Other high skill things involve sports betting, trading bots and stuff like that.

Medium skill is things data science & ML, statistics, excel and shit like that any company needs, they don't need much raw skill, it's all about selling yourself.

Low skill is multiplication tables and casheering in McDonalds

Not that anon but how about research? Both non-independent and independent?

If you learn math then it will become easier to solve a lot of real life problems, if you can solve a real life problem that a lot of people have in common then you can make a lot of money. You either pick a problem you want to solve and learn the math, or you learn the math and try to solve a problem with the things you learned

How to do independent research? Read about currrent math and solve problems, it's the same as going to academia. It's just hard mode because if you don't go to college either as a student or a professor you'll most certainly have other things to occupy your time as do as a job, so less time, meeting less people with the same interests and other factors which all compound, but some people have done it with moderate success, but it's not common.

For non-independent research going to college is the best

I'm currently learning it just in my free time, and it's actually quite enjoyable. I don't really expect to make much money for the time being, but the prospect of turning a profit in the next year is definitely motivating.

Give one example of using math in gambling to make money other than muh card counting.

Also, I know nothing about sports or sports betting. Please explain your experience.

Not that anon, but physics can help you infer a variety of external factors about a particular athelete from their times or records.

For gambling, as far as statistics goes, you can most likely use statistical analysis to whittle down options to come to the most likely scenario or answer. Maybe even algebra.

Research is fun as shit, and if you get something where you’re in a position to help people it’s really satisfying. There’s still a ton of paper pushing and bullshit, but you get creativity and freedom with research.

Thanks for giving me some hope, I only see people posting about how research is hell. I keep thinking these people probably shouldn't have gotten involved in research in the first place.
