As a math major who passed all entry exams, spent nearly a year cold emailing and applying it seems more appropriate to steer stats students toward data science at this point.
There are more technician jobs than engineering jobs and there are more engineering jobs than primary science positions. I’m not sure that should surprise anyone. How many pure mathematicians does global society actually need? Not that many. How many farmers or civic engineers or geologist does society need? A lot more than mathematicians.
