Have you done mathematics research? It's pretty different from taking a class.

but the average actual problem was too easy relative to the intellectual work (memorizing technical fluff)

I'm curious whether this is true of all non-academic professions. It's even true of some academic professions. Probably not math though.

I wouldn't rule out professions that have a lot of technical fluff, it is pretty ubiquitous and you will rule out a lot of good options.
