How to Become a Pure Mathematician (Or Statistician)

Oh, hold on, I may have gotten my numbers mixed up slightly. 145 might actually be for working, full time pure mathematicians - sorry about that, I'm double checking now.

EDIT: My massive bad, it looks like I accidentally bumped everything up a standard deviation in my head somewhere. Jesus. I should update the numbers in the original post. Maybe I should also consider getting a math PhD after all, apparently I'd be ahead of the pack in that case.

Kudos to you for acknowledging your error and correcting it. We certainly do need more high IQ (>128) math PhDs with integrity, like yourself. Please do consider pursuing higher math in a full time capacity.
