Good for you. Cross my fingers that you'll land a good job soon. Or create your own job.

I have a few prospects lined up.

I'm actually planning on doing a second masters from a slightly more prestigious university with a more theory-heavy degree [1], but it's nice to at least have an official graduate degree now. Hopefully it helps me find work a bit quicker, and if nothing else it's just kind of fun to pile up degrees.

  • I was recently looking for a master's degree in math that is:

    - 100% remote

    - 100% self-paced

    - fairly cheap

    and it looks like Open University is the best option right now? Did you find any better option?

    • I couldn’t find anything that ticks all those outside of OU.

      University of Texas has one that looked pretty ok, but it was kind of expensive for a non-Texas resident.

      University of Western Florida has one for “Mathematical Sciences”, which more or less fits, and it’s not even that expensive, but I think that one is synchronous.
