marketesble minors to supplement math major

College Majors

<p>Hi there, I am a junior at the university of Houston. I'm quite confused in making a decision for an appropriate minor. My case is kind of weird. I am A comp sci major but will be switching to math (as data structures weeded me out!) I realize that math is one of my strengths but I am not so sure of how marketeable it is being a math major.
Based on the research I have done so far, there are loads of careers one can branch into with a math deegree but having only a this doesnt bring in concentration. Out of all the careers, I am Intrigued most by Operations research, acturial science and branching into the business/finance sector of math. The last one seems to be where I am short of info..I will appreciate anyone who can shed more light about it.
What may be the marketable careers for math majors in this industry?
I am contemplating on picking 2 minors to supplement my math degree so I can become more marketeable. Below are a couple of minor programs my schol offers that I am considering:
Management Info Systems
Supply Chain Management
Finance
Accounting
Computer Application technology
Risk Management
Supply chain logistics Technology.</p>

<p>Lastly is aminor at undergrad level even worth the hassle at all? ( at least in my case)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>

<p>If you get into Management Info Systems or Computer Applications, you still may have to deal with data structures. Databases are nothing but data structures stored in a certain way.</p>

<p>I think you need to work on your writing skills more instead of worrying about a minor.</p>

4

<p>I’d say math and finance.</p>

<p>Minors usually don’t matter all that much if you apply for jobs in your major field, however, math does not really give you a specific job training, so the minor you pick may have a bigger influence on where you may apply for jobs in the first place. A well-rounded math major, in theory, should give you some adaptable problem solving skills. Many minors nicely complement this, and all the ones listed look fine, though some have pretty specific names (“supply chain logistics technology”?), they all look pretty similar. Pick the one area among them you like the most.</p>
