<p>My dream job is to teach mathematics at trinity college of Dublin, what would I need to do to get there? I got unnofficially accepted for undergraduate study, but I cant pay for it so I was planning on going to UC Berkeley & TCD for grad. What other steps would I need to take?</p>

<p>Uh… I don’t think you need to get your PhD from the same school you want to teach at. You will want to get your PhD from the school with the best math department that also has research interests that align with yours. As an extreme example, I think a Harvard math PhD has a better shot at a TCD position than even a TCD PhD does - just my uninformed opinion.</p>
<p>Well what work experience would help? Would it be research? Etc.?</p>

<p>You should ask this in the grad school forum, since I’m not a grad student, just someone voicing their opinion.</p>
<p>But research is primarily what you need to do - because that’s what it takes to get into a top PhD program</p>
<p>Oh okay, I was asking that more as work experience to put on resume. But thanks. </p>

<p>Go to the highest-ranked math PhD program you can get into.</p>
