I have a bachelors in mathematics and am sorta struggling for things to do with it.  I took some statistics classes, but just two accounting classes.  Anyone have any idea where I might look for math related jobs?

I come from the University of Waterloo, the only school in North America (I believe) with a FACULTY of mathematics.  We're ranked with MIT and the like for goodness when it comes to math and computers.\n\nAnyways I see mathematicians go off every which way to jobs.  Some stay at the institution and do work on theorems, etc.  Some work for computer companies, deveoping algorithms, etc.  Some go into a highly mathematical branch of physics or chemistry and work on stuff there.\n\nIf you've taken some stats courses, maybe you'd consider being an actuarial scientist.  These are the people who work with stats ALL the time, for insurance companies, banks, etc.  They make SOOOOO much money (6 figures to start!)\n\nGive it all some thought...and never give up :)

Undergraduate economics often includes both math/statistics and memorization. For math, there will most likely be at least a Statistics course.  For memorization, many formulas (which are, incidentally, math) and definitions are required knowledge (memorization) by professors.  So I dont know if you are trying to escape either memorization or math by going into undergrad economics, but at the very least, you will experience a bit of both.  In fact, much of economic theory will be explained through quasi-logical (mathematical) equations.

Call colleges in the Austin area and ask them to help you find an intership in the field of accounting.  They have lots of connections.

Perhaps you should change your major to a related field, one that doesn't require heavy math/science ability.\n\nTalk to a school advisor.  That's what they are there for.

You can try the world of Computer Programming.\nProgramming requires very strong methametics background... with MSc in Maths you can be of great help in Software industry.\n\nGraphics programming for one needs intensive maths skills.\n\nTry out the field... you'll love it. I know 'coz i'm Njoying every day in this software world!!!

Congratulations on your big accomplishment!  I got my AA degree last year, and I have transferred to a 4 year university.  It is a stepping stone on your way to higher education.\n\nI looked in the help ads for my local paper, and yes...there were jobs that asked for at least a two year degree in accounting, and payroll type work.  Of course it is not what a CPA would do, but it is some type of payroll, or excel type of imput.\n\nSo there is an advantage because it shows employers that you have taken the next step and are willing to.\n\nGood luck.\n\nDave

I'm considering going back to school to do do that.  My understanding is that it is constantly rated one of the best professions out there.  You do need to be strong in math and then there are a series of tests you need to take and pass in order to be considered a professional actuary (though a lot of companies will hire you after you've taken one or two and help you with the rest).

I like math class, I'm really good at math, and I know that it benefits everyone, but I'm not going to spend my free time memorizing the digits of pi or phi. I can do trigonometry, but on vacations, I will not work problems for fun. I think everyone should get at least an Algebra 2 level of math mastered.

as far as best paid jobs bussiness and pre-med are the way to go (pre-law is up there but not as high as you would expect) but the highest paid college graduates are not nesecarily bussiness majors but ones with general liberal arts degrees, but here's the thing if what you're studying makes you hate yourself all the money in the world can't buy that back, if you're miserable when you take bio, but Com classes make you come alive, do that instead, another interesting point is, a very low percentage of grads go into their major, (I think it's around 30% but possibly less) I'm a poli sci major and I recently met a grad of the poli sci department at my school (a fairly prestigious university) working as a director at a Christian summer camp

Mathmatics and Statistics are a great course of study for analyzing data.  My major was Business Management and Administration, and I am a Quality Manager for a call center.  I analyze quality data and determine trends and areas of opportunity for our agents to improve their customer service skills.\n\nSince you don't like math, look into courses that offer logic and discussion.  By learning how to ask questions and seek out the root answers, it'll help you in analyzing.

It depends on what your associates degree is for and where you are living. I have an associates of applied science (paralegal) and it is a tough job market out there, just being out of school, with no real hands on experience. If your looking to get an associates degree I would highly reccomend something basic, like; accounting, business management, or medical transcription.

The difficulty for me is the inability of so many employers to see past the lack of a college degree and look at job experience.  I came from the UK with an accounting/tax background and have found it very hard to get anything other than clerical jobs.  So I'm now in school full-time, supported by my wife, trying to get the paperwork that will lead to a better job.\n\nSuppose I'd better go and do some homework....

I would definately go with the BA in Math.  Schools right now need actual math teachers, not just teachers that know math.  Many places offer a 1-year post BA degree program in Teaching, basically a fast-track teaching masters (not quite the same as a masters in education).

You could join a Temp Agency down in Baltimore. I know I did that and made some decent money. I did all sorts of jobs like a receptionist or I just plugged in numbers into a spreadsheet all day. Not the most exciting but I some cash.

There are lots of jobs ranging from police officers to insurance salesmen.\nI was rather confused when I was leaving college too.  My college has a career development office as part of the academic advisors office.  I would suggest going to see them.  They have various tests and surveys to track your interests.  They will also host job fairs and advise you when other ones are coming up to check out.

I am a math major so I have taken every math class. Start with Elementary Statristics...it is not that bad mostly pie and bar graphs for the first half of the semester.
