There are plenty of Jobs in teaching.Now a days Mathematics and other subjects are being taught by Delhi teachers to student in America and Canada.Also he can do research and Doctorate in Maths and even settled in USA.

I hesitate to respond, because ... ever hear the saying "on the Internet, nobody knows that you are a dog"? One will write truthfully about the difficulties in a field, and some trollish contrarian will show up and talk at length about how he hasn't witnessed any of those difficulties during his glorious career. Fairly often, on prolonged questioning, our corporate hero can't maintain the illusion that he has much of a background in the field he claims to have a career in, but Internet exchanges tend to be brief, so online, the snow job works. In an oh-so-postmodern way, the group will say something like "you have your experiences and he has his, so why don't you accept that both are legitimate", not really trying that hard to understand the exasperation of somebody who is finding that an honest telling of the unhappy truth is being put on an equal level with a shameless fabrication. Why some people enjoy doing this, I'm not entirely sure, but all the same, and probably against my better judgment, I'll give you an honest answer, even though it probably is not one you're going to want to hear or accept. What are the job opportunities available in the field of Mathematics? That largely depends on location, probably. The American job market is the one I'm familiar with, so I'll focus on that one in my reply. Your name sounds Indian, but then again, so do those of a great many of my neighbors in Chicago, so I could only guess as to where you live, possibly doing so with no great success. If you were here and asking me that question, my response would be "do not major in Mathematics, and certainly don't go to graduate school in the subject". The problem is that while an academic background in this field opens few doors, if any, when it comes to employment, it closes a good many forever. One is refused what employment is available on the basis of "overqualification", discovering that the hard work one did in pursuing an education as one worked one's way to school has been rewarded with the equivalent of a blacklisting, while those who partied their way through frat party after frat party go sailing into high paying positions based on the personal connections they made. Which sounds like a better deal? This is not a temporary inconvenience. Imagine looking for work, not for days or weeks or months or even for years, but for decades in a system that, while deeply concerned with making certain that convicted felons can find work, sees absolutely nothing wrong with leaving you to starve or freeze to death, not in spite of the fact that you worked harder and learned more than your peers in a particular subject, but because of this fact. Looking at some of the suggestions I've seen in this thread, some people are just blowing smoke. Accounting is an entirely distinct degree program. Knowing how to solve a PDE, for example, is not going to teach you anything about how to help a client make best use of the tax laws. Civil engineers need to have civil engineering degrees, and rightly so. Software engineering - One of my brothers, degreed in the relevant field (computer science) with extensive experience has been doing better than I have with my on again - off again tutoring career, but at this point he works long hours at minimum wage. Data entry was the only work he could find; there are almost no software engineering jobs to be found in our area (Chicago). Yes, there are want ads, but in the real world most of these seem to be for positions that on examination, don't really exist, or call for a long list of narrow qualifications that would eliminate almost every candidate in existence. No less than 10 years of experience and no more than 12 programming in a language that was only invented 5 years ago, that sort of nonsense. Besides which, Mathematics is not the degree for that profession, Computer Science is. Actuarial work - A little more understandable as a suggestion, as these people are doing statistics for a living, but not really much more feasible. The insurance industry was one of the ones that went on a kick of refusing to hire anybody without 2-5 years of relevant job experience, remaing quite vague about how it was, precisely, that newcomers to the field were supposed to get that experience, if they were never going to be allowed the chance to get their first job. About half of a decade later, one could hear placement people in that field whining about the shortage of junior actuarial personnel, as if there were something deeply mysterious about the phenomenon of running out of new people in a field, when one has spent years stubbornly refusing to let new people have a chance to enter the field. It's sort of like watching somebody refuse to go to the store, and then scream about the unfairness of life when he discovers that there is no food in his refrigerator. A lucky, well connected few manage to bypass this insanity, but the thing about good luck is that it is, by definition, scarce. "mathematician" - and good luck finding a position under that title, and then beating out the stampede of long term unemployed and underemployed mathematicians looking for work. "mathematics teacher"-- School districts are downsizing, and one needs a degree in Education for that, not a degree in Mathematics. "physician"-- Somebody is dreaming. Medicine is based in Biology, not Mathematics. "mathematics professor"-- Welcome to adjunct Hell. Full-time, tenure track employment for new people is largely a thing of the past. etc. etc., etc. Most of the professions I saw listed would require degrees in fields other than Mathematics, a number are notorious in the real world for downsizing that has been going on for years or decades, and some of which seem to be nothing more than flights of fancy on the part of a very creative author who imagines that such a position MUST exist, and sees no harm in publishing his guesswork as fact. Environmental Mathematician? Try finding a SPECIFIC position offered under that title. I'm guessing that I'm seeing excerpts from some kind of occupational handbook, but the disgraceful reality about those handbooks is that the authors tend to gut things out without doing any fieldwork of their own, and without having any knowledge of the occupations they write about, with such an air of authority. I guess this must offer the writers an easy living, one that won't trouble them too much, as Professionalism seems to be widely considered to be a quaint relic of the pre-modernist past, clung to by those who aren't wise enough to understand that perception is reality and that the Market is God, and so still draw a distinction between earning an honorable livelihood and earning a dishonorable one. This is the dark side of "do your own thing" - those who one should be able to trust, proving so utterly untrustworthy and never being called to task for this. Such is reality, and Heaven help you if you fail to act on it swiftly, because your fellow man never will. Get out of this field while you still have a chance.
