i miss those days

rant but i literally miss when game theory had the most RANDOM theories that would cause so much controversy but end up right. nowadays its just theories that have been online for weeks, or just compilations of old theories. i still watch matpat’s old theories relegiously and find so much comfort in his and steph’s lives. i feel like the only host that carried the legacy that the theorist channels were, is ash. no hate to the new hosts obviously, i love them but it genuinely doesnt hit the same anymore or feel authentic to them.

opinion on quant?

okay let us take a moment if silence for the ‘everyone and their nan wants to be a quant’

hi! i just recently graduated high school and ive applied to universities for maths and data science. i got i to some really good universities (offers) andi genuinely had no one for career guidance and had to figure it out by myself and would like some insight.

i am really interested in maths, data and modelling. i was really liked the field of computational biology, but seeing how cooked the job field was, i decided not to specialise too early. hence i opted for a maths and data science bachelor, to keep my options still open.

depending on the job market after three years, i COULD take computational biology. or i will go into an msc of financial mathematics/mathematical modelling, and pursue quant finance. and to me, quant >>>>>>>> compbio

lwk is this path alright? what do i have to watch out for?are there any other data science paths that are growing, have grown, and pays really well?

assuming i hold perfect stats throughout university, and build up a good portfolio.
