<p>From one math major (enthusiast) to another math major (perhaps not enthusiast), why’re you so certain you can’t find any job to do with math? That’s a pretty broad statement. I think you probably can find a job that’ll be remotely interesting to you, especially given earlier in this thread, you seemed to mention you prefer many topics to the traditional, mainstream pure mathematics ones. This is actually very healthy for your career prospects. </p>
<p>Sure, generally financial positions probably are awarded to math majors who’re smart (as Molly said), not specifically for their mathematical depth. But there are aspects to engineering, i.e. mathematical modeling, which are heavily intense in aspects of math that are very “impure” to me. Signal processing, for instance – you’ll do all this stuff with Fourier Transforms, Z-Transforms, etc. </p>
<p>Not something I would consider appetizing myself, but that’s because I myself find pure mathematics amazingly interesting, and only hope I end up being good enough at it.</p>
