We don't want any 909ers 'round here brah. :)

On another note: there is a ton of opportunity in web companies with a background in applied mathematics with all the data mining and social graphing and business statistics. Don't sell your degree short in this field. Do a little research into the major electives available to you and how they may apply to your own work.

You at UCR?

I'm aware of my degree's utility. In fact, my next idea may require a lot more math (graph theory, particularly, which is the case for most social stuff today). However, I like learning being for the sake of learning and don't mind pursuing a degree that I may not want to turn into a career - but if business doesn't work out, I can always go into academia or industry.

I'm not at UCR. I'll be moving to Berkeley next Fall.
