Lifeisgood: Yes, I realize that. However, I'm asking these questions to determine what I want to work at as I have interest in all these subjects. I'm just trying to find the right combo. Also, I want to know what would be available to me. Thanks for your input.

Let me tell you a secret... unless you plan to go to medical school or go into engineering, your undergraduate major doesn't matter. What does matter is completing your Bachelor's degree and getting an internship. Choose a major you enjoy in a department you like the faculty (you'll be seeing them a lot in your courses).
When you get to Grad School, your major does matter. There's a lot you can do with a PhD in Mathematics, but you might want to explore other mathematically-related grad programs such as engineering, statistics, and insurance. Teaching is also a great option with a mathematics degree.
Check out your school's career services office and talk to the faculty in the major/grad program you are interested in. They can tell you what jobs their students get after graduation.

Goodness. Considering your highest degree is in Math, I would say at the very least a math professor/researcher at a college or university. You could also get a job doing research for various government departments.
A Bachelors in Philosophy is what I call a luxury degree...it's nice, but it doesn't get you doing anything practical with any $ behind it. It is a starter degree that is most useful if you double majored in something like Teaching, Psychology, Business etc. or got a PhD in so you could teach.
At the end of the day however, I agree with the 1st answer...you decide what you can do. You could very easily decide to buy a boat and do tours and catch fish in Australia.

More than likely -- something that you are overqualified to do.
The fall of communism in eastern Europe has oversaturated the market for PhDs in Mathematics.
To be honest, most of the people I know with a PhD in Math ended up getting another PhD in finance in oeder to make themselves employable.

because of the fact you state which you extremely % to be a publicist then important in mass communications! that's what communications is all approximately!! and since the 1st answerer stated they don't furnish Liberal Arts levels as a Bachelors of science. you shouldn't trouble approximately having a BA extremely than a BS because of the fact the only difference fairly is the kind of math and science classes, which you will not % as a publicist. btw, many faculties require pupils to have atleast 2d 365 days expertise in a foreign places language to graduate regardless of their degree, be it BS or a BA.

A doctorate in mathematics opens you up to a tremendous amount of highly rewarding and high paying jobs. Search the insurance field, for example(risk and probability).

Don't expect anything. Decide what you want and work towards it. You don't just fall off the graduation stage and get handed a bunch of job offers.
