@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.
