What Job can I get with a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics?

Answer 1

You can always get a job in the academic world being a teacher or sub, and can teach in college if you further your degree. Something besides that would be something along the lines of working and compiling statistics, research in math (disproving current theories, making your own theories, coming up with new ways to solve things, etc. but technically need a doctrate in math for that), or system analyst. I would think going into accounting would be pointless with your degree especially if you're smart and can a lot of things.

Answer 2

What i could find on internet is that the starting salary offer for a person with B.S. in mathematics is over $46,000 an year. I don't know what kind of jobs are there, but certainly you will be able to find work with a bachelor's degree.

Answer 3

At most an assistant Math teacher. You would need more schooling in order to actually teach a Math class and i would highly reccomend that you return to university and take the appropiate courses so you can teach Math. My nephew just completed 5 and a half years of University to become a Math teacher at the high school level. He was very wise in taking extra courses and although his Major was Math, he also has minors in History, Social Studies, English, and Chemistry. By having these extra minors he will be able to get a job anywhere as this makes him very versatile.

Teacher

Answer 5

First, I have to ask you where are you living now. If you are living in Europe/USA, you are in luck. It turns out that in this day and age, you can do pretty much anything with a degree in Mathematics except maybe become a medical doctor.

YOU DON"T HAVE TO BE A TEACHER.

How do I know??? Because I myself am a math major. Once you have a degree in math, you have proven your worth and you have proven that you can THINK! In fact, if you have a Bachelor's in math, you can continue into another field if you want. You don't have to stay in the same field. Get a Master's in Computer Science or Physics or something. Where I live, if you apply for a master's program in physics and engineering, they prefer math majors to physics majors. There are PLENTY of jobs for math majors in the federal sector. The US government is THE biggest employer of mathematicians in the world. You can work for any space agency, any research lab, secret services, cracking codes, doing research, and signal processing. Come on, people loooooooooooove to spy on one another and they need people who can decode some encoded signals AND they want to make sure that their own signals are not decoded by enemies.

If you don't want to work for the government, there are plenty of jobs in the private sector. With this ridiculuous craze (around the world) with consumerism and corporate giants. They love to hire mathematicians "to analyze data" and they WILL pay you a lot of money. Oh they want to do survey like there is no tomorrow but after the collect huge amounts of data they can't understand what it is saying to them and they will pay you whatever you ask to translate for them.

How do I know this? Because I personally know other mathematicians who have done all this and others who are doing this. You can work for NASA, JPL, Boeing, FBI, CIA, NSA, CERNS, ESA, GE, GM, and of course, you can always teach. If you want to go a bit ahead a master's degree will really be worth it. But when you get to Ph.D then you have sort of chosen your field. I had a friend whose sister graduated with a degree in math and she became a lawyer. You know what she did. She was the one who wrote the arguments they were going to use. Well obviously, logic is the base for mathematics. And I personally know plenty of people who teach only because they like to or because they get bored staying at home. One of my professors has a Ph.D in applied mathematics and physics and he works for a company on the side making like $500/hour. He can work like 2 days and then relax for the entire month. He only teaches because he gets bored at home and wants something to do.

Teacher

Answer 7

Well it depends on your specialisation. Applied mathematics such as queneing theory will be useful in operation research which is dominant in logistics firms. Financial mathematics will gain foot hold in banking sectors. Pure mathematics are more applicable in teaching and research.

For all others, well try looking at what those subjects applied to which fields.

Answer 8

Well, I am way late for commenting lmfao, but the best job, better than stupid teaching/accounting/etc is join the military as an O-1, for 2934.30 a month, which is quite a bit, starting E-1 gets 1547 a month, also your room and board is paid for, so you get 2934.30 plus room/board a month if u join in as an O-1!

Answer 9

Systems programming. Performance and tuning requires a math background. You'd work with large mainframe IBM computers, using software to pull numbers reflecting how much data the mainframe processed, how quickly it did it, and how many resources (storage, CPU, I/O) were consumed. This allows tuning experts to adjust system resources for optimum performance. It's a nice living, if you like computers and numbers.

Answer 10

You can become a mathematical bachelor, unless, of course, you're married.
