i'm looking for a career which involves mathmatics, such as algebra, solving equations, data handling and statistics. i'm wondering if anyone out there knows of any such a job/career. i know it sounds really boring but i realized today that i enjoyed doing all of that at school and was actually really good at it.

There are lots of different types of engineering out there (civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, etc.) that requires a good knowledge of mathematics. Though most of the time in those careers you won't be doing any equation-solving by hand. If you like statistics, you might want to consider work as a statistician or actuary.

Your quest will involve more schooling. PhD is best. While you're at that take a look at teaching after school, No-Child-Left-Behind Math classes; Kaplan and Sylvan and a number of others have them - pay is good and it will hone your teaching skills - nothing like being in front of 30 recalcitrant middle school or high school students to test your skills. And you can do this while being a 'student'. Meanwhile back at the farm, you have added one of those "I really, really want to do good in the world" entries on your resume which will put you in pile A versus pile B or C in the rush for jobs. This way you can stay alive while you learn the esoteric stuff. Kinda like working tables while trying out for acting parts.

Take some economics courses in addition to mathematics and go for actuary. Actuarial science is a really great field, not a lot of people are there, and the salary range is excellent even for entry-level positions.
Its one drawback is that there aren't many job openings, but if you can pass even the first actuarial exam then the employers will find you.
