Default Re: Math Degrees and Careers

Looks like most have been covered; the thing about Economics and Comp Sci is that there is a huge disconnect between undergrad and grad. As undergrad majors, they are more broad in preparing people for a wide range of possible jobs. At the grad level, those fields become relatively much more rigorous, and require much more math. If you plan a grad career in those fields, try to take some more math: assuming you have already maxed out calculus, consider real analysis, discrete math, linear programming. I also would rank economics ahead of comp sci in terms of math; econ certainly involves a broader range of math topics.

I am surprised no one mentioned Finance. Maybe you want to put that with Economics, but I wouldn't.
