The number of technical jobs that actually require a math PhD must be relatively small. I'm on the other end of it, trying to avoid the situation where the degree type is meaningless, because this means that, as far as credentials go, you're competing with anyone with a college degree. I suspect in your case you have more room to maneuver than you think, but what do I know? Good luck to you. |

Yeah, that's my point: if you're looking for a boost to your credentials, my experience is that a PhD in math won't really open that many doors. By all means, pursue a higher degree for the sake of your personal enrichment! But a word of caution does seem necessary if this is a career-oriented choice.
