Hi: That's nice about my current job. I do CS every day, feels like in university :)

I generally agree with your post. But part of the problem is that for the quadratic function there is one and only one correct solution (the algebraic one...) In enterprise IT we dont't have that: We deliver what we agree on to be good enough. If you think like that about your maths problem it will simplify quite much and i am sure you can easily write some numerical algorithm that at least may find some good value for the maximum. I think than it's like Enterprise IT: You dont know the best solution, but you keep going as long as you agree, that you found a good solution.

Nice quotes. Sad but true statements. My experience in IT has been figuring out how to use technologies. Sometimes you get to do Comp-Sci things like your analysis problem you listed, but it's few and far between. IT seems to cater to making things simple so the barrier to entry is lower. Technology also moves at a rate where learning a new technology every so often is a requirement. I guess some of it depends on what industry you're in and how quickly you pick up tech, that lets you get to more complex Comp-Sci topics.
