First,
I'll give you one good example that came from my desk. Correlation matrices are highly unstable and vulnerable to shocks. Sometimes, you have to normalize things instead of getting a mathematically correct answer that might be right today and wrong tomorrow. That's where math becomes an art. You look at your models, and you figure out when they can go wrong, and you say I'm going to do something that's mathematically wrong, but I know is actually closer to the truth.
Second,
You have an interesting background. About it being too much to learn on your own, in reality, you only need to know what you need to know. Once you get into a new job, you will learn what you need to know, and you'll know what you don't need to know. Thus, it's not such a big task for EEs to catch up to MFEs. I've seen it happen a lot. And sorry for the attack. I just get overly passionate sometimes. Nothing personal. It's just over the internet.
Third,
Haha, I appreciate that. Let's see what happens in a few years.
