I strongly encourage you to consider Actuarial work.
The demand is high and growing.
The compensation is strong, and once certified by FSA is outstanding.
If I had your love for math, I'd be ALL over it!

MS in math is an excellent stepping stone to a lot of careers, though many require more work.
Strong marks in an undergraduate math program are an excellent lead in to a masters program in almost any hard or social science - often better than an undergraduate degree in that field! I know people who went from undergrad or masters math degrees directly into post grad work in chemistry, physics, economics etc.
If you have the interest and ability, go for it. It keeps a lot of doors wide open for a long time.

Computer Science.
Engineering
I majored in Computer Science and Math
It amounted to a lot of math classes that were very abstract and very theoretical. Some required computer programs written to solve equations. Math is change for you in the coming years -- after Calculas you may not be as fond of it. All science and research and engineering fields use math. So does economics. What about Accounting?

Research is a possible career. Writing. Consulting. You might consider an MBA instead of an MS. Its of more practical use. And you might even think of a PHD.

You could go into a finance career with a B.S. - banker, loan officer, investment representative. Why don't you stop by the guidance office at your school? I'm sure the counsler would be happy to help you.
