So I have been further researching possible career paths with a degree in math that would suit me, and I came across the idea of modeling and simulation for national defense (for example: http://www.boozallen.com/careers/9001843/recruitsoft?rs=https%3A//bah.taleo.net/servlets/CareerSection%3Fart_ip_action%3DFlowDispatcher%26flowTypeNo%3D13%26pageSeq%3D1%26art_servlet_language%3Den%26csNo%3D10320 EDIT - I'm having trouble linking directly to the page but the title of the job is Modeling and Simulation Analyst, Junior)
There are a couple things I am wondering. Does anyone know more about a career in M&S? I can't seem to find much. Or any other companies that may have similar positions? I've seen RAND, SAIC, and BAE. Government maybe? I was also wondering about the idea of overqualification. I have been thinking that I would probably need a PhD in applied math before I got into industry. Now, the job i specifically linked requires a BA/BS and experience, as do several others I have seen. But it seems that some require a masters degree. Now, if one was to apply for a job lke this with a PhD would that hurt chances? Thanks for any help, I think I'm slowly finding the areas I am interested in :)
