Thread: Hi there

Hi guys,

My name is Marco I am 30 and I'm from Portugal, Lisbon. I already hold a BSc in Computing, but last year I decided to start a new degree in Applied Mathematics. I hope I can get help from you guys, and also give my help in case I am able to.

Regards,

Marco

Hi Marco, welcome to MHF!

What prompted you to pursue a second degree in Applied Mathematics?

Hi friend,

Sorry for this delay reply, but I was on holidays.

I just feel that I need to have some other qualifications, not that I want to quit programming or anything. But you know, my wife is a Practician, and one thing that happen in the medical profession. it that as you get older, you are seen as a senior MD, and as such you are highly respected, whereas in computing, if you don't want to evolve to some leadership position, because you don´t feel that it is something you want to do, you become a target to be replaced, by some guy who just came out of the uni. I know this is not what happens everywhere, but this is what I feel. But the main reason is because I like maths
