I probably would enjoy scientific programming.  Are there ways to find such 
work without graduate work?  I'm open to internships, for example.

As much as I'd like to go back to school, I'm not in a position to do so right 
now.  I already have a doctorate in math (and the student debt to go with it!); 
since my dissertation is in algebra, I *suspect* that there would be 
applications for it, but since it's pure math, I would *expect* it to take 
twenty years, or longer, to find that application.

Hence, it would be highly desirable to find other ways to pursue mathematical 
work.  :-)

Sincerely,
Alpheus Madsen.

<snip>Outside of graduate work in the mathematics department, math is usually a 
tool to achieve an end. In order to get a job building better mathematical 
tools, you probably need to focus on the types of problems you hope to 
solve.</snip>
