Carla likes the
variety that comes with working for a consulting firm where she
works on different projects, depending on the needs of the
clients. |

"Get an internship
because even though you can like certain areas of mathematics
more than others, an internship will help you understand the
type of area that you're interested in working in, whether it be
research or industry, business." |
Martin:
"Basically, I'm a consultant for Price Waterhouse. And consulting is a
type of career where you're not actually a specific -- you don't have a
specific position. In other words, you work on all different kinds of
projects, depending on what clients want. The particular group that I work
with at Price Waterhouse is called the Management Analytics Group. And
most of the people in my group of quantitative backgrounds in math or
statistics. We actually have some with economics. But mostly some sort of
quantitative background."
Martin:
"I think it's a very good idea to get an internship because even though
you can like certain areas of mathematics more than others, an internship
will help you understand the type of area that you're interested in
working in, whether it be research or industry, business."
Martin:
"I was very, very unfamiliar with how even, you know, little office
procedures worked and how to even use my computer, you know, very simple
things like that. And, you know, going from there to a year later starting
to actually manage my own projects was quite amazing to me. I couldn't
believe that I was managing at such an early age and so early in my
career. And actually, right now, I'm managing five different projects. So
I think that what's really good about this company is they push you and
really encourage you to go towards to your potential, no matter how many
years you've had at the company or anything. But it's more based on past
performance."
