QuoteOriginally posted by: quantmehQuoteOriginally posted by: CrashedMintNot sure how i can say this without sounding like a pretentious asshole, but whatever: A key difficulty for me is that I have too many talents and am too good at too many different things. For example I have degrees in two completely different areas. As a student I did part-time work in completely different areas, mostly creative stuff and turns out I am good at this too. So it's hard for me to decide what it is I want to do, and then focus my energy. Instead I am doing x things at the same time.you have ADD or ADHD, visit a shrink.lol, so you mean I can get Ritalin legally? I'm too much of a pussy to buy it online =)but anyways, I think it's actually easier if you can do only one thing. For example if I was only good in math and really sucked in all other disciplines then I could easily know exactly what to do with my life, but instead I have several degrees that have nothing to do which each other and each one leads into a different field of work. So I have to abandon something and focus on something else. That's a hard decision.

ADD is no joke, it can ruin your life. you'll still achieve more than 90% of population, but later in life you'll realize that if you dealt with this condition, you could have been in top 0.001%, and you blew it.Interesting...

That's a hard decision.no one who is really good at maths sucks in all the other disciplines.maybe just te nerdy chinese IMO guys, but i'm not sure they are good at maths.

you made the right decision for the wrong reason...should do the phd when you are you are young and have a lot of time... as you get older the costs in time and money will be enormous.if you are not competitive without phd, you wont be with one either. sorry but mathematical talent is innate...and for the non math jobs you need no stinking degrees - just the skills of shaking hands, nodding and winking...
