Mostly though, I just have this vision of Dave, halle, Hank, Garnett, myself, etc pulling this off in front of the Bryan Center
Only if I get to be the gay black kid.

pee in the old well on ur way out. that should distract them
It's not really a well anymore. It's a water fountain and the ritual/tradition is for all the undergrads to drink from it on the first day of class.
Are you really considering post doc? (or is this just a joke?) If so, maybe this is a dumb question. If you already have a PHD that it appears that you aren't fully utilizing (my assumption), why would you go for a post doc? If it's paid for by someone else and/or part of a longer term plan to become faculty, that's a different story. Not busting on you, genuinely curious.
Pretty much this. This thread has gone so far off the rails I guess it doesn't matter at this point lol. My long term goal is actually to become a prof. But I am still fairly lethargic about a lot of things. I need to improve my drive, which is a large part of why it's taken me 14+ years and I still don't even actually get my Ph. D. until next year
I wasn't even sure I wanted it for a while, despite how much I love math, it's not really a practical degree unless you actually are a professor or something.
To be completely honest, I was always a really shy person and still have some insecurities that I'm working on, but at least I found the drive to finally finish the damn thing haha.
Onwards and upwards baby
Also a PhD student in maths here.
I think it depends in how applied your research/skills are on how marketable you are to industry. I have a feeling that you can learn some coding even with a pretty theoretical degree, find some sort of job like that though. I'm not entirely sure since my interest leans much more towards academia and pure maths.
As does mine, which was part of my problem, otherwise I just would've been a stat major or like Jeff said, a Marketing Analyst or something.
I'm way more into the abstract aspects of the subject though.
Again, I think it depends a lot on the area and classes you took. I honestly couldn't model much of anything at all besides very simple lower level textbook-style problems despite being many, many credit hours and research projects deep into maths.
I agree the need for pure mathematical kind of thinking is there (I mean even something as abstract as Algebra is, at its bare core, all about the intuitive idea of symmetry), I just think it's oftentimes confused with the more applied areas in terms of marketability.
That being said I'm curious what area your interest lies, CI? I'm not far enough along to narrow down, but working towards research involving Geometry and DEs (hopefully PDEs if I'm good enough).
In an effort to be more on-topic: I was wondering, is this a surprise, or is this the renovations alluded to earlier over the summer? Also I assume the rooftop bar is closed during Wolfpack basketball games
I'll give you a hint. The reason my username end's with "Identity", is because of this:
