Going for a PhD in Statistics. 22k fellowship. Holy Cow this is great.

 

[tkotom]

Nice mate. Which institution?

 

[AncientEnemy]

you will be a doctor of mmath

 

[faustian]

Do you even lift?

 

[weich]

Congrats!

PhD in Statistics. Some consider that math others don't.

 

[Malas]

Dost thou even hoist?

But seriously, way to go bruh

 

[jacketwrestler1]

Do you even lift?

Yep, since I was 13.

 

[jeffk]

congrats. That is great.

What are the odds of two people having the same birthdate in a classroom with x people?

 

[Badtangent**]

So what type of "career field" does this open into? What would you like to do ultimately with your PhD?

 

[jeffk]

With a Phd in Statistics, he could do a load of shite.

He could become an actuary or go into investing or a whole lot of stuff. The world is all probabilistic.

You mean you haven't earned it yet? Ban from sherdog. I bet you're not 6'5" and not a black belt in UFC either!

Spoiler

JK. Congrats man.

 

[NetGeek]

Assuming Uniformity and not a leap year

(x nCr 2)((1/365)^2)(364/365)^(x-2)

Hope to become a college professor. I enjoy research and the whole atmosphere is super relaxed.

 

[Revolver]

Actually I'm taking the probability actuarial exam in March for giggles. My plan if I didn't get into grad school was to go to the local herp derp school, get my masters in math while taking actuarial exams, and after I finish be an actuary.

Haha my favorite is the joke about the three mathmaticians. One pure, one applied, and one statistician. For a job interview they are each asked what is one-third times three. The applied mathematician goes ".9999999...", the pure math guy goes "1", and the statistician goes"That depends, what do you want it to be?"

quantum mechanics

Meh, it's really cool but I kinda want to do environmental statistics.
