Default How much can you earn as a mathematics lecturer

Hi guys,

I am 50+ and have 36 years of estate management. I do not have any degree. Currently I have registered for SUSS in BSc mathematics. This is the only way i can get a degree. Why Mathematics?

In E-Mgt i did not fly so high. I am a good problem solver. Very creative. But then my salary to date is only 60k. Its too little. I see that Mathematics is a skill and if I can acquire this degree I will be able to maintain my employability.

I need your honest opinion on how much I can earn as a lecturer ( If I can become one) in teaching mathematics.

Warmest regards

I thought 50+ can already retire?

Are your kids already working?

Is your 3 room HDB flat paid up?

No offence dude, with your total lack of professional experience in the field of mathematics (not even remotely related), you will not be able to lecture with just a degree from an institution that most people don't even consider as 'proper university'.

I suspect at most you can secure mathematics private tuition assignments at O-Level standards. I'm sure even polytechnics will not accept your profile to lecture mathematics related subjects.

Stick with your 60k job. This sort of deg will not get you even half the current pay if you start from scratch in another career.

Reality is, you won't be able to lecture, with a BSc mathematics. You can see from the various responses, you would need to have a PHD, in order to lecture mathematics. Getting a PHD in mathematics is not easy and will take many years to achieve. If you have a Masters, you would be able to be a TA (teaching assistant) but these are not high paid positions. In general, you should be aware that lecturers are not paid enormously as well.

If you do not have a degree, you should probably consider a business management degree instead. I would like to highlight that it is a myth, that it is important to have a degree in order to progress in career. I know many people who are not degree holders, but managed to succeed in their organizations, primarily in banking fields. If you are indeed a problem solver, you might be in a wrong organization, and what you need is to move to a different organization that can provide you with opportunities to showcase your talent. Getting a degree is not the answer to your problem. In fact, there are (department) PAs and secretaries that earns more than $60K /year and most of them don't have a degree.

You should also ask yourself a honest question, if you are indeed as good in problem solving, as you perceived. There are always 2 sides to a story, so you should talk to someone senior and you trust, to understand which areas you can improve on, and listen carefully to what they share.
