  • As an algebraic topologist who did not even touch anything less “pure” than PDE during my master’s degree, I would say the following: You have many possibilities, but you might have to rebrand yourself a little.

    I went into a government job (DM me for details as I am already too identifiable). I was really unsure about going the PhD route or not, and ultimately opted for what I thought would make me the most happy. I am pretty sure it was right for me, though it is a little bittersweet in retrospect.

    In my opinion the people matter more than the place, and with sufficient freedom and autonomy a mathematician can make any task interesting. Think about how you can make your skills useful for other things than pure maths (in a manner you could also enjoy) and sell yourself to an employer on that premise.

    It is cheaper to eat unhealthy than healthy in most countries that have no food scarcity, which means that much of the working class basically eats the scraps of the rich. As an additional consequence of the capitalist mode of (over)production, there are in the same countries a lot of eating disorders, in big part due to the pressure of commercial advertisements.
