I...What? WHAT?

I know I'm a bit late, but I thought I'd chime in:

I happen to have two friends with Bachelors (BS) in Math.  Both are currently PhD students in Math.  The one which is further along, has told me, flat-out, that there is very little application for advanced studies in Math.  He describes graduate work in math as being a lot like art, except only other mathematicians can understand it.

So, really, a BA in math makes some sense.  Advanced math has no real-world application: it's like art.

.....Except that art DOES have real world applications.....

Applications which are not aesthetic in nature?

And we're not talking about illustrations here.  We're talking about the sort of haute couture art you run across in museums.

The direction art is heading disgust me!!!!
