Math-heavy careers

I’m currently a senior trying to figure out what to major in. My original plan was to become an actuaruy as I’m great with math, but I’ve recently began to consider other careers like aerospace engineering as it makes good money just like an actuary, and I don’t have to take the intense actuarial exams. Any suggestions? I enjoy math (mostly calculus, trig, and algebra are my favorites) and im good at it and i know that can help me make lots of money

Hyper empathy

For the last year, I’ve been relatively content. I have always been an empathetic person, but recently its started to grow. I feel sorry for everyone 24/7 and knowing I can’t do anything about it makes me so sad. For example, I have this co worker who doesnt speak much english and always walks to work. Its an hour walk maybe on a main road as well, and shes older and on her feet all night at work and i cry everytime i think about it. i try to drive her whenever i can or even get my mom to. im not sure what im gonna do in winter because i cant stay until 12am during the school year waiting for them to finish in the back. I dont know what to do i know being an empathetic person is a blessing but its so hard for me and i try and share my feelings with others but they just brush it off but im struggling so bad and i feel like no one understands how i feel

Best schools for actuarial science?

I know I can easily search up what schools offer the best programs, but I’d really appreciate raw genuine human insight and all the other posts askimg this question are at least 4 years old, and I’m sure a lot has changed since then. I live in NJ and Rutgers is my main choice, as I was hoping to stay close to hope and it has an actuarial science program. I’m opening up to further distances from home, as I’m more in want of a school that will prepare me for this career path and the exams that come with it.

Chip in car paint

I just got my first and theres two small chips in the paint and the metal is showing. Before it gets worse, how should I fix this? I know a body shop will do it, but can I do it at home for cheaper or is it better to just go to a shop? Obviously theres kits to do them at home, but will this last like it would if it were done professionally

Be honest: is a used 2017 Mazda 6 worth it?

I’m looking for a first car, and many people have recommended the Mazda 6. I’m looking for a sedan thats affordable yet reliable. I don’t know much about cars, but I know a used cars reliability also relies on previous maintenance, so if it was previously maintained properly, would it he worth it? Also another note these are pushing 100k miles as this is a car to get me to and from classes and work and wouldn’t be a car I’d keep for years.

I’m looking for a used sedan, specifically a Honda. I’ve been looking at some sites and dealerships, but the best finds have been on marketplace. Is it trustworthy, and if so, how should I check a used car?

I posted this earlier, but I’m going to add more info just to get better answers. I’m getting my license in June, so it’s time to start looking for my first car. The plan is have either my uncle or my mom co-sign the car meaning it’d be under their name obviously but I’d be the one making the payments. For insurance, the quote given to my uncle by his company was abt $128/month for me to be added to his insurance, and $490/month for my car, which the car we gave for the quote was a Honda Accord 2018. I do have a job, and I’ll have around 8k saved up by June for a downpayment. I don’t know much about cars, I just want a reliable sedan that will get me from point a to point b, and hopefully not have that high of a insurance rate. I am a new driver, but I don’t have any crash records or anything. I do have a job where i get abt 30-35 hours a week, and this will increase in summer. The state I live is among the highest when it comes to car insurance costs i think so maybe that explains the orice.
