What's a math whiz supposed to move on to?

Huh? If a math whiz was not a valuable person we wouldn't teach math.

It really depends on what the "whiz" specialty would be but NASA, JPL
or NSA spring to mind although a CPA probably makes more money.

CPA! That would make great use of some of the bizarre equations I see my son
working with. I wonder where the math whiz would go after he/she grew bored
with being a CPA. After all, the other places you've mentioned could absorb
maybe 1% of the teachers you believe should stop teaching after some period
of time.

My CPA makes a very good living, he earns a lot more than a tenured
professor or a rocket scientist.
