Anything to do with numbers -- for example, statistician, pollster, accountant, actuary, anything to do with the stock markets and financial markets -- not as a salesman but as a person who tracks the ups and downs and makes predictions -- or you could be a bookie and do your magic at the race track.
There are many more possibilities for a math major, many of which have nothing to do with math but do have a great deal to do with a mathematical (or logical) approach to processing information.
Or you could be a math teacher. There seems to be a dearth of them, judging by the amount of math that kids today can't do.....

Lots and lots. Do you mean a job that is math oriented, or all options? One thing about math as a major is it gets a lot of respect. People tend to think math majors are really smart, and that helps in about any job.
Assuming you mean math-oriented work, and that you have a BA but nothing higher, there is computer programming. (my degree is in math and I am a computer programmer) There is teaching, there is market analysis, there is actuary (requires continued studying), there are engineering positions...
If you enjoy it, and especially in a bad job market, getting a further degree is also an option. Getting one in math helps for any math career and opens up more options, but other specialties are also good. Law schools ususally have a lot of respect for math degrees, for instance. I had classmates who went on to get degrees in law.

Math is a great field to study in because you can apply it to almost any career you want. Problem solving- detective, psychologist.. Algebra- finance, accounting, banking, sales manager.. Anything you chose a great major, every field appreciates the mathmatical mind.

Everything. Literally.
Carpanters need to know how long of wood they need.
Music people learn fractions to help with things like half notes and quarter notes.
Scientists need to know how much of a substance they need or else they might destroy the whole world.
