3Why do you imagine that such a person would not be taken seriously? Please clarify.– J WCommented Sep 15, 2023 at 6:28

1Also, is this on topic for Academia Stack Exchange? It seems more something to ask potential employers in the relevant industry (e.g. finance). Or have I misunderstood the intent of the question?– J WCommented Sep 15, 2023 at 6:31

@JW I feel like when you have a second degree, it seems like the first isn't as authoritative anymore. Let's say you have a bachelor's and a master's degree in mathematics and then a second master's degree in a business-related field. I have the feeling that someone like that is no longer so strongly identified by their first degree.– MackeyTopologyCommented Sep 15, 2023 at 7:07

3This may sound far-fetched, but I prefer to "take mathematicians seriously" based on the work they produce, not the degrees that they may have taken in the past.– Yemon ChoiCommented Sep 16, 2023 at 3:40

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
