What kind of work can I get with a degree in Mathematics?

I recently read a report saying that people who studied Mathematics as an undergrad are close to the top of median salaries over the course of their career.

I didn't specialize in anything. I'm about to graduate with a B.S. in mathematics but my courses were pretty general. Nothing like engineering.

What kind of work can I do with that?
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There are a HUGE number of possible careers for those with BS Math.

The most lucrative by far is to become an Actuary: this takes several more years at college but the salaries are higher than those for doctor / lawyer / etc.

Next best option is (if the content of your degree is relevant) to become an engineer, followed by computer software engineer.

Teaching at first or second level is possible too ( as mentioned above), but does not pay so well.

If you have areally high GPA then try for actuary.

You can be a Math teacher for either grade school or high school. :) You just have to earn a license though. But I guess this job will be the best for you and your degree.

If you don't have a license yet or you don't have plans on getting one, you can just offer Math tutorials.

You can also enter business firms and work on finance department though they'll be prioritizing Commerce or Accounting graduates here. So, the best pick will still be for you to be a Math teacher.
