I am thinking of majoring in math, but am not really interested in accounting or teaching/professing. What other kinds of jobs are out there for people who like math?

What type of math do you like the most (math and/or science)?
The following are some jobs that involve lots of math without teaching or getting into accounting:
-actuary (insurance agent who estimates risk and probibilities to calculate insurance rates)
-engineer (lots of physics and science to build things or construct complicated things like engines for machines and cars, or draw blueprints for manufacturing plants, buildings, and processes)
-Piolet (lots of physics and Calculus in learning how to fly airplanes and get your license)
-Military (lots of strategy, physics, weapon development, etc...)
-Statstician (lots of math involve in taking samples and deriving equations to answer questions- like taking polls and forcasting results in elections, etc...)
-Genetic Engineer (DNA math for calculating types of bacteria, gene combinations, etc...)

Math, well that is a tough one. Graduate school is a possibility. I got my degree in math and then worked in engineering for a few years before going back to school. A lot of my classmates either became computer programmers or went into insurance statistics. There is also a pure math research track but that was not all that interesting to me.

Actuaries gets a commission ok and those are oftentimes math majors. My daughter tells me that folk who love math, yet do no longer decide for to easily instruct math do ok in electric engineering (her substantial). Even the different instructions interior the degree are very very nearly completely math proper. very very nearly any form of engineering has an somewhat severe point of math in contact. that's genuine of pc engineering besides and individuals with stable math skills oftentimes think of logically (like a working laptop or pc). those 2 ranges additionally in straightforward terms choose one extra classification in math to get a math minor and that i might upload that those 2 have the right salaries for graduating college pupils. do no longer permit every physique inform you to no longer do nicely in math. chortle of their face in case you're pulling in a initiating revenues of $60,000 a year after commencement!

Depending on where you are located, you can readily find jobs doing research-based projects. Once in college, speak with your professors to find out about any projects/internships that you could work on. Communicating with and getting to know your professors is your most valuable asset in college because they can lead you in the right directions to look for a job and they are invaluable as a reference.
