Does the math many people on AOPS work for really make a large impact? I get that this is a place for math but I think I'm losing touch with my prior math skill. AMC and AIME are solving problems that have answers and just take practice but math as a job or just like an accountant doesn't need/needs a lot more than this type of math. I might switch to another stem category for college apps pathway. Also, many people who are already very good at competition math don't get good offers because there's people who are even better(note: i get the point of math isn't only college). I think if I work *hard* I'll be AIME qual but I think many people would have higher achievements with the same amount of work in another category. I think competition math really just trains for problem solving, unique thinking, and pattern recognition(aka IQ pts).
