While you should get a job that pays good for the lifestyle you want you should keep in mind that you should find a profession that you would enjoy as well. :)

I like math.  Not great at it like SEX, but as long as I can count my fingers and toes...I am alright.\n\nNeed math for your pay, pay raises, payment of bills, etc.  Quite useful in life.

Math skills help develop one's analytical abilities. Some people are gifted in math and it is easy for them. Others have difficulty with math. If you did well in grade school with math, then you will do well in higher education. Statistics should be a math course that you should consider.

The skills you learn in doing geometry proofs, to prove something using minimal assumptions and logical arguments, will serve you well in many professions. Some fields that might require these skills, besides mathematics, are scientific research, law, business, economics, public relations, almost any career where you need to sometimes convince someone else to do or buy somethings.

Very good question.  Let me answer it a different way - in our admin team earning less than £15k is someone with an English degree.  She can't get any decent jobs - and she hasn't got maths or IT.  Her husband works in a factory and he has a history degree.  Again he didn't do maths or IT and so can't get other jobs.\n\nIT and Maths are the two essential qualifications to get decent jobs.  Maths is also essential for further study in pyschology, biology, geography for the statistics part of the degree courses.  Also for the differentiation (calculus) parts in chemistry and physics.\n\nMost of those who take non-career specific degrees end up in accounting (and so need maths!)\n\nOne of the students I taught did A level maths and went into nursing.  Now to be honest she hated maths and only got a D, but when she hit her degree she found how essential it was to all the calcualtions she has to make and found herself top of the class - whereas those who hadn't taken maths A level were struggling and in some cases had to drop out of their ideal career because they just couldn't hack it.\n\nYes, everyone knows you need maths for basic everyday stuff - but I assume you're asking because you aspire to something a little more well paid.  \n\nI suggest if you have a career in mind ring up the Uni's and check what maths is needed - and then make sure you get it at school so you don't find your dreams shattered.\n\nIncidently I have a maths degree and teach actuaries (people who do all the pensions and insurance calculations) - you can expect to earn about £60k in the UK once qualified.  Just in case your motive is money!

Actuaries (work with life insurance, pensions, general insurance, finance, etc)\n\nIn the UK once you completed the exams £60,000.  Does go a lot higher.  Probably one of the highest paid jobs...but remember money isn't everything!  You must balance the money-fun equation (more money less time to spend and enjoy it, less money more time to spend!)\n\nBut certainly in the UK mathematicians are in demand (along with IT.  I have people working in our admin who have history and English degrees - because there are simply no jobs for them (the ones who have maths A level - go into accounting).

You could get a job as a teacher.  People who teach in some inner city schools or schools on Native American reservations can have a portion of their student loan debt forgiven.  Normally, you would be obligated to teach for 2 or 3 years in an underserved school.  Since you have a B.S. in computer science, you could easily teach math at a high school.\n\nIs the work challenging?  Yes, but it's also a rewarding experience because you will be helping those who need help most.  Try asking your alma mater's career services department or a big-city school district for more info.

Much. If you have a liking for maths, than try to become an actuary after this. If you don't like maths than try Economics masters. This will be enough to make you an university professor and you will earn a handsome salary. Also you may go on to become CFA. You have unlimited scope but only attempt it if you like economics.

I can be a whiz at Math, but not be a Mathematician, can't I?

Make a list of your talents. Then make a list of your passions and what you love. Then choose the best field that will allow you to utilize your favorite talents in something you love. (e.g. Bob is a good observer and very analytical. Bob loves being outdoors. He loves nature and trying to name all the plants he sees. - Bob studies ecology, biology, etc and becomes an plant biologist at a nature center).\nMost importantly choose a major you absolutely love learning about! Not about which will make you the most money, etc.

Anywhere in the education field, also think tanks are always looking for math majors. Those who have advanced abilities in math and science have a plethora of opportunities. It is a great career path to take. \n\nwww.mathforamerica.org\nwww.higheredjobs.com\nwww.mathjobs.org\nwww.math-jobs.com\n\nGood Luck

For starters, you need to learn proper communication skills.  You obviously haven't yet.  Based on the phrasing of your question, the misspellings, and your overall attitude, I would never hire you for anything.  So, if you aren't interested in working, then maybe you don't need schooling.\n\nEver plan to buy a house or a car?  Do you think that at some point in your life you may need to own life insurance?  If so, you need to take some personal finance classes.\n\nEverybody uses math to some degree, whether it be in their personal lives or in their careers.  So, again, if you plan to be a bum your whole life, then you probably don't need it.

I strongly suggest meeting with an academic advisor. By talking with one, he/she may be able to help you figure out what your interests are, and from there they can help you decide on a major.\n\nIf you're still not sure, just make sure the classes you take will transfer towards all (or at least most) degrees so that you're not wasting time and money.\n\nGet involved. By working different jobs or joining different clubs/organizations, you may discover your passion for something, and from there you can decide on a major.\n\nI strongly recommend majoring in something you love. I am a math major (with secondary education emphasis). I want to teach math. The classes are hard, and the pay is not the best. But I'd rather be happy with my job and making little money than be miserable at work and make a lot of money.\n\nGood luck with the major deciding!

All athletes probably started their careers doing sit ups, push ups, running, weight training, etc. What do these have to do with hitting a ball, throwing a ball and catching a ball? What these tasks do is lay the foundation for whatever sport they choose.\n\nAlgebra, and one of its components - logarithms, form the foundation for the mind for almost any semi-technical career whether it's business, finance, medicine or engineering.\n\nSo you decide you want a career that's less mathematically intense. Fair enough. But math will still creep into your life. You'll need to know how to balance a check book, understand credit card debt, understand how a mortgage works, understand how an annuity works, etc.\n\nWhile you may not use algebra or logarithms every day, they are being used all around you ever day. You'll make better financial and other life decisions if you have a reasonable grasp of how they work.\n\nAs for logarithms themselves. I've always had a fondness for them. Logarithms have this interesting property that the addition of logarithms can be used to provide the answer to the multiplication of their anti-logarithm equivalents. In fact sliderules are based upon this principle. Additionally the multiplication of logarithms can be used to calculate the exponent of their non log equivalents. These were critical in doing serious number crunching before calculators where invented.\n\nFinally exponents and logarithms are central in finance equations. They are used to calculate how much money you might be able to save for retirement, how much a mortgage payment should be and how much an annumity payment should be.\n\nIf you live in a house and your parents make mortgage payments. You can thank algebra and logarithms for your house. Without them, the bank and your parents would have no idea how much your mortgage payment should be.

This is a Great Career Choice for you. I compliment you for your Honesty and in the manner that you phrased your question.\n\nFirstly, Mathematics is a tool in engineering...a very impotent tool.\n\nAs long as you understand the Mathematics principles and you attain a passing grade, all will be fine.\n\nConclusion: A creative person will do very well in engineering.\n\nA Companies  business depends on Creative ideas for future products. No one can be certain where the next great idea will come from....Many companies have advanced research groups to develop new products and processes.\n\nGoogle gives their employees over 20 percent of their work week to think of new Ideas.\n\nCreativity is the key to success in the long term.\n\nDo not be concerned about the Mathematics issue. Yes, you may be required to support a new Idea with an equation or a Mathematical model.\n\nI assure you that if you develop a new or creative idea....Mathematicians will be at your service to assist you...smiles.\n\nBest of Luck to you.
