Similar to another thread on another forum, I'd like to ask which general area of mathematics would be best - with the indirect effect of your advice, influencing my decision.
Now what I've heard so far, is pretty much summed up as:
- Pure: It's beautiful! But you won't be famous if you do it.
- Applied: It has real world applications! But it has emphasis also on computer stuff as well, and is not purely (no pun intended) mathematics
- Statistics: It pays well! But it's boring, and monotous, and tedious.
Anyoen care to add to the fray?
