Ask HN: My career is over before it started, what next?
Greetings HN, I am a math researcher and programmer who is not able to get a job or funding in my area of expertise. I was ostracized from university and given a &quot;respect violation&quot; because I asked a woman on a date in an email. Now I&#x27;m not able to find any way to get funding for continuing my research and career.<p>My current plan is to just keep learning and working on my math research and software frameworks, but I have no idea how to actually move my career forward.<p>Github: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;chakravala<p>In today&#x27;s society, it&#x27;s impossible for a math interested person like me to make money or have a career it seems. The only thing that matters to the outside world is not having a degree, so I&#x27;m worthless to everybody who funds research or pays people for mathematical software.<p>My only plan is to keep working on my research independently, until I am able to find some funding or career options related to math and programming.
