Question

What kind of jobs (beside teaching) can you get if you have a 4 year bachelor degree in math?

Answer 1

Most math majors are approached before they even get out of college.  That is one reason few go into teaching (other jobs can begin at $80,000+ for first year hire).

Talk to your university; see who they have looking for math majors.

Answer 2

Mathematics can serve you well on several career paths.  Consider the field of finance... you can work in banking, investments, etc.  Or perhaps insurance... actuary, risk assessment, broker, agent.  Perhaps in manufacturing as a purchase agent, manufacturer's representative, human resources, etc.  For accounting, you could work for a firm or yourself... perhaps became a certified public accountant and a financial planner.  Many positions require some math skills... I suggest you assess which fields interest you and explore them by talking to the people in the jobs you are considering. For example, before becoming an actuary, talk to several at different companies; let them know you're a recent graduate and considering the field.  You'll find most people helpful in sharing what the job is like on a daily basis.

Answer 3

Business, finance, actuarial science (the science of insurance risk), statistics.....
