That look that says, "How could anyone possibly /want/ to be a math major?"

<p>

<p>Hahaha, that’s hilarious. And one of the comments about a guy’s friend in econ is also funny.</p>

<p>I give that look sometimes because I can’t imagine myself doing something so theoretical.
That makes sense, as I’m an engineer. I know that Math majors do some impressive stuff, but I can’t relate that to real life.</p>

<p>Back many days ago when my husband was still in graduate school we used to joke about whose vocation was the bigger conversation killer. At the time I was working at a shelter for homeless people (“isn’t it depressing?” or “you must be a saint” Actually, it was fun and I loved every minute of that job) and he was a graduate student in Physics(“that was my worst subject in high school” or “you must be so smart”)! Sometimes he got tired of dealing with it and would tell people he studied music. Now our son in a double major, math and physics. He’s a real glutton for punishment!</p>

<p>Wow a homeless shelter? You are a nice lady</p>
