    I was able to interview Joshua Savage who works for Coca-Cola in Alanna Georgia. He went to Georgia State and got his masters in actual science after getting a mathematical degree. He spent a bit of time being a low level analyst save his money and moved on to a roll he just chose to apply to. Now he travels a lot for his job which is what he wanted to do

    Thanks for the info. I'm a Computer Science major and I've always had courses that overlap with Math Majors. What I'm curious is how much harder and different it whould be for a Comp. Sci major to take the exam?. If its a decent computer science program (not just programming) we still have to learn about proof techniques, discrete mathematics and the same standard calculus and linear algebra courses.

      You will probably still have to study for each exam. You’ll know you’re ready when you can consistently pass practice exams. Having a good calculus background is helpful, but unless you’ve taken a calculus-based probability course, you will probably need a few hundred hours to be ready for Exam P

      @@nathanielhope8202 I wrote and recorded the music in my portfolio at UNCSA’s 3 week Summer Composition/Music Tech Workshop. I don’t remember the tuition fees in 2015, but on their website they say that summer 2019 was $1,858 in tuition and $1,180 in room and board. I don’t know how much the musicians were paid, but it was included in the tuition which also covered bi-weekly private composition lessons, music theory and technology classes, and social events on campus
