As someone who just wanted to be a mathematician/physicist, heartbreaking to find out all of the adjacent jobs are a fucking nightmare. Well pay is good. But the options are like you make mildly evil excel spreadsheets, or you do interesting work that is evil evil.
Every math related job is either you operate the lever on the trolley problem or tie people to the track.
Oof. Or like. You’re solving the genuinely interesting problem of designing the switch for the track, along with the trolley itself. And as long as you don’t think about it beyond that, you can mostly convince yourself you’re in the clear.
STEM is so cooked it’s overwhelming sometimes. Really hope I can find something that doesn’t make me hate myself or others.
