Astrology and Haskell are quite similar in that both are much much easier to do if you have a math degree.

For what it's worth, one of my classmates pivoted into astrology, and we majored in Applied Mathematics.

Ok, I'll bite. How does a math degree help with astrology?

Are you sure? I can see for Astronomy that's a branch of physics so sure, there's loads of tricky practical mathematics so if you're bad at mathematics you'll get stuff wrong, but surely for Astrology since it's just bullshit anyway you don't need to do mathematics as it wouldn't make a difference?
