What can I do (as a career) with a degree in Mathematics?

Question

I'm a junior at the University of South Florida right now. I'll be graduating with my BA in December of 2007. My major is Mathmatics. I plan on getting a Masters, also. Right now, my plans are to be a high school teacher, and an adjunct at a community college.

But I'm wondering what else I can do with a Masters in Mathematics. I just want to keep options out there for myself.

Thanks.

Answer 1

An old friend of mine majored in math and got a job right out of college crunching numbers for a stock brokerage in NYC. She made a mint. (Granted, her degree was from a very selective, highly ranked college.)

You could get a job in any most any business capacity with a bachelor's degree in math, and some good contacts.

A Master's degree in math won't open any more particular options to you, except in academia, unless your Master's is in accounting, or actuarial sciences, or economics, or business.

Bottom line: talk to your math professors, and also talk to a couple of professors in the business school at your university. They'll be very helpful.

Answer 2

Besides a professor and without any other training you really can't do much. If you have taken some accounting classes, and being proficient in math, you could probably get a job in accountancy. But you will need to take some extra classes.

Answer 3

Actuary

Answer 4

Talk with your professors and others in your department. Find out if there are any research projects that you can help out with or internships that you can work.

Answer 5

Math teacher, engineer if you get a enginerring degree or research.
