I don't know Ben, what's the going pay rate or job prospects for a Maths master ?
I'm not sure, but I'd imagine that £100,000 a year wouldn't be out the question with a Masters in Maths from Oxford (I only skimmed the article, that's what she's got isn't it?).
I remember reading something somewhere / hearing on radio 4, an interesting piece about how there's a generation of pensioners who think that the sums on the maths round in countdown were the pinnacle of mathematics. It was a bit exaggerated for amusement, but not ridiculously so.
A bright teenager could do carol's job on countdown just aswell. I dunno, there's just something about it which seems to reflect our minor celebrity tellybox obsessed culture in a strange way.
I disagree. Almost confined to a life in Academia or the secret service if you ask me, and with the current economic situation there won't be many plum jobs going in the City.
What do you expect to do with your masters degree ? (genuine question)
Back when I was still in academia land, I remember always seeing the lists of most worthwhile degrees. I remember Maths always being right up there at the top, I think my quite a long way. I would have thought an Oxford Maths Masters would be worth a fair bit.
EDIT: I mean worthwhile as in average salary of those who have them.
