Math Degrees and Careers

[alThor]

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.

Yeah, I have my Bachelor's in Comp Sci, and my minor was Math. Why? Well, you had to take so much math for the Comp Sci, you only needed two more math courses for a minor.

Math ability is one of the most useful skills to have. Problem-solving tool supreme.

I'd add in actuary.
Which I would look into. One of my best friends is one. He and I are probably the two best math people I know...well, since high school, but they were all geniuses.
I wish I had known about the actuarial field as I would have done it. He loves what he does and makes great money.
