The first International Math Olympiad

@Horace said in The first International Math Olympiad: @Klaus I'm considering pursuing a Masters in math after I re-do the calc courses. Cool! What part of mathematics do you want to specialize in? 
- 
Is this just for fun or do you want to make a living with it? If it's just for fun, I'd specialize in some absurd, highly theoretical branch of mathematics with no applications in the next 300 years, such as higher-dimensional category theory or homotopy type theory or algebraic topology. If you want to make a living: Probability/statistics and then make $$$ in the AI industry.

I am sort of curious whether there's such a thing as a job market for someone in their mid 50s with a fresh degree in the next big thing in tech. Curious enough to actually find out.
