| Aug 27, 2014 at 13:42 | comment | added | Eric Lippert | Your enthusiasm will serve you well in any career that you choose, but I would caution you that it is increasingly difficult to pursue a career as a tenure-track mathematician. There are many software companies that solve difficult, math-intense problems; it's not all writing line-of-business software for medical records automation. If you're interested in learning about the sorts of problems that professional mathematicians solve, go to your local university library and take a look at some journals; the librarians will help you find what you're looking for. | |

| Aug 27, 2014 at 8:20 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | Have you considered doing research in theoretical computer science, for instance on programming languages? | |

| Aug 26, 2014 at 18:42 | comment | added | user20284 | @Bitwise I am still only a senior in high school, though I have been actively involved in mathematics and computer science for quite some time now. I have explored my passion for academia over the past few years and have firmly decided that I want to be involved in it for the rest of my life. | |
| Aug 26, 2014 at 18:40 | comment | added | Bitwise | I assume by research you mean paid research rather than just a hobby. If so, this probably makes sense mainly in an academic environment. So it would be useful for us to know whether you have any relevant academic background. | |
