>>11232389>How do we put our love for this shit to good use in ways other than doing a phd?Get into finance. The obvious route is in risk management but I personally ended in a more operations research kind of role. But here is a pro tip: if you google textbooks in Credit Risk Analysis, the authors are almost always Ph.Ds in math who've worked in places like Deutsche Bank. You can read their little biographies there and see if you like. But really the field is quite wide. You have:
>Commercial Banking: managing loans for the general public>Investment Banking: managing fund-raising for corporations>Hedge Funds: managing investment strategies for your investors>Insurance: managing insurance contracts for corporations and the publicAll these fields have their subfields which need highly technical people, and all 4 taken overall have such a variety of these roles that it is insane. Modern finance is a mathematician's playground.
