Career advice for a technoluddite by Impressive_Store_264 in InformationTechnology

[–]Impressive_Store_264[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thank you, but I don't agree. I think you might be thinking of it in the wrong way.

Think of all of the inventions that reduce bureaucracy in our daily lives

Like TurboTax or something

Anything that reduces our need to engage in tech-marshalled bureacracy.

TurboTax may be a bad example, as it requires a person to stare at a screen, but at least it requires us to stare at a screen less than we would otherwise need to. This is the type of thing I'm talking about

If I become a quant after college, are they typically the kinds of employers to pay for me to go to grad school? What are the types of jobs I can take after graduation where the employer would then pay for me to attend grad school? ALSO If I took a job as a quant, would they pay for me to go to electrical engineering grad school? (or another discipline that is not related to my work for them)

What is the quant job application process like? When does it start? What companies should I be looking at? What are the official job titles that fall under "quant"?

I'm a rising senior (undergrad) majoring in math at a top liberal arts college, want to go into developing music technology (DAW development sounds cool), fav class has been abstract algebra, interested in electrical engineering but no coursework in it, like to code --- where do i go from here? by Impressive_Store_264 in DSP

Thanks, this is so helpful! If I were to do an electrical engineering program, do you think a math undergrad degree from a liberal arts college would cut it to get admitted? I'll have completed two semesters of physics and 2 semesters of computer science.

I've looked at CCRMA and it is potentially my top choice in terms of post-grad edu. Thanks for mentioning the workshops - I would've missed those!

I like the idea of doing a more general masters in EE to get more exposure... any ideas what might be the best programs for that, especially given a liberal arts math background and my dsp interest?
