He studies english , maths, three sciences and I.T., he has a special aptitude for maths and would like to use this, but would like to know what's out there other than accountancy.
Anyone got any ideas ?

The world is his oyster with all those under his belt. However, whether or not he has an aptitude for a certain subject, does not necessarily mean he enjoys it does it. He should look at doing something that he enjoys doing, then there will be longevity in his chosen career. If he is pushed into doing something just because he's good at it, he may feel unfulfilled and become resentful of his job. Be it, bank manager to shelf filler, if he is not happy doing it he won't be as successful as he might be in a career that he enjoys pursuing.
Good luck

Astronomy, cosmology, radio astronomy, teaching, space exploration, superconductivity, oh the list is endless. A good careers advisor would be able to help. In teaching good mathematicians are worth their weight in gold. If I had been any good at maths, playing around with massive telescopes in various places a round the globe getting to see the mysteries of the universe and understanding or explaining what was happening would be what I would have done!

Highest salary? Best type of work? FORGET THIS IDEA!!! The best career is one in which you have an aptitude and passion for. Who says you have to decide on a degree this year? I wanted to be a researcher and an anthropologist from the time I was about 9 years old. I tossed it away because my grandmother told me there was no money in it; that it wasn't practical. Now over 20 years later my only true passion still lies in researching people and how they lived. It isn't work to me. I wish I had gone into the anthropology program instead of picking a "safe" major. If you are pressured to pick a major, you are one more person who has just proven my point that people shouldn't commit to college just because it is expected of them.

banking... ie stock broker in futures and options... needs a very agile mind to make risk assessments etc. this is a high paid, high pressure, high stressed job, so will need to have a strong constitution. would be good if it he spent time studying ancient greek or latin as these are 'mathematical' languages. it will help broaden his options.
something a little less stressed but always high in demand is database achitecture, or systems architecture in the IT field.
telecomunications is a good field to get into for IT as it is a fast moving industry that is always looking at the latest technology and designs etc. in fact any telco. engineering would work well for a the mathmatically minded.
there is also achitecture, which requires a mathmatical mind, and if he has an artistic hand in his work, this would work well.

1. An actuary. But the professional exams are hard and will take up a lot of your spare time
www.actuaries.org.uk
2. Investment industry eg with Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley or if you are lucky a Hedge Fund - pay can be very good but hours can be long.
Here's just an example -

yes, my brother did applied Maths MA
So he applied for things like- working for banks, sales, MI5, but now he has actually joined the RAF as a flight officer.
There is also construction, engineering and teaching you could go into (a lack of teachers so that would be brilliant if you were into that kind of thing).
Financial Adviser,and so on- to be honest you could pretty much do any job you like because the qualifications you have are very strong!!!!
Good Luck!
