A wide variety of careers are available for math majors, if you're strength is statistics and/or financial mathematics then you can become an actuary. These are hired by many companies and the paychecks are high.
If you possess a PhD then a University professor (lecturing or research mathematician) or cryptanalyst/cryptographer might be the career option for you. The salaries can go very high and start off at around US$ 90,000.
Engineering though is the field most math related graduates go onto. Even BSc grads get jobs in US Military,etc. especially the navy.
Then there are cryptographers hired for developing software and new encryption systems.
You can get a full list of careers on the American Mathematical Society webpage.
