Well a better question is "what can't you do with a math degree?" I'll start with engineering, the building you are sitting in would not be standing if it were not for an engineer that designed it using math a more accurately geometry to design the complex ramifications of which a house must withstand to survive the elements. The computer you used to ask this question would not work at all if not for mathemetitions. computers comunicate in a language of 0's and 1's called binary code and every character, image, icon, ect. on your screen is no more than series of 0's and 1's to your computer. Who comes up with this code? mathemetitions.

You can do lots of things. You can work at McDonalds, you can start your own business, or you can work in industry. Generally speaking, mathemeticians are sought after in many engineering and science-related fields, as well as research fields. If you understand statistics, you can get a job at a public policy company or a thinktank. If you understand some advanced math, you can work on software modeling and validation or as an engineer.
It all depends on your likes and dislikes as well as the nature of the math degree. It's really wide open.

You should seek a position in computer software design. Aim at companies that specialize in industrial numeric controls, measurement systems, or automotive or avionics. There are several areas that your expertise can help.
1. Simulations
2. Automation
3. Avionics
4. Test and Measurement
5. Statistical Analysis
6. Database
I've even used some rusty old Calculus.

You could teach middle school or high school math. If you have a teaching licence, all the better. If not, some states allow people to teach for 3 years under a provisional licence (which, I imagine, is not hard to get).

Okay, first off, Ronin's answer was funnier than crap. Good Job Ronin, you just made my day.
Now-to answer your question--seriously--you can do just about anything you want. Engineer, teacher, rocket scientist, cabdriver, milkman (or woman). ANYTHING!! Fire good, beer good, math good.

Maybe you should have joined the US Military (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ast0.ml0OP3cI55SQ3_r00zsy6IX?qid=20060626194343AAoTWvx) then you could have done something with your life that is actually useful for something.

use it to mop up your tears when you realise it gets you absolutely nowhere.
go for a PhD and you might teach college level. other than that?
