<p>I don't know exactly what I want to do with my life, but I know I want something to do with numbers. But numbers can be used scientifically, or used in business. I was just curious, how difficult is it for a Physics or Math major to obtain a job in business? All businesses have quantitative analysts, and Physics/Math majors can do that. But at the same time, I might not necessarily take the traditional "business" courses, I would just be able to do the math. </p>
<p>My ultimate plan might be double majoring in physics and math, and specializing in economics with the math major. Does that seem a valid option in order to have a broad degree?</p>
<p>Any ideas or opinions?</p>
<p>Math and physics graduates are often recruited into quantitative finance jobs because their math background is stronger than that of a typical business major.</p>
<p>Actuarial science as used in risk management and insurance is also something that math graduates are recruited into. [Be</a> An Actuary](<a href=“http://www.beanactuary.org%5DBe”>http://www.beanactuary.org) has some information, including a list of courses at various universities that satisfy the “Validation by Educational Experience” (VEE) requirement (basically a few courses in economics, finance, and statistics, although sometimes the list of which courses qualify is not completely obvious until you see the actual list).</p>
