I've just finished my undergraduate degree, and am enjoying a few weeks of complete bliss with no assignment deadlines! I've been thinking a lot about my future career, and I was hoping to gain some insight and advice on possible directions. I have a B. Comp Sci with a major in Computational Maths. My Comp Sci studies have naturally directed me towards a programming career, which is great, I like programming. I don't have a lot of experience with large scale software development, which is a bit of a hurdle I need to get over, but I'm confident I can pursue a programming career.
I chose the maths major for more personal reasons. I like reading lay physics books and I wanted a better maths background so I could understand more technical concepts. My major included basic discrete maths, calc I - III, LA and numerical methods up to finite difference / finite element Methods and a little bit of ANSYS and Matlab software but not as much as I would have liked. I'm wondering if my maths background is suitable to apply for jobs in the science / engineering industry. Obviously I'd be looking for a role that included programming, I have no actual science or engineering expertise, but I'm not really sure where and what to look for, and I'm also not sure if I'd be laughed out of the room! But how knows?! Maybe someone here could offer some insight?
