<p>Since those will be my 2 main areas of focus for now, I'm curious to see if there are more possibilities out there than I think regarding those 2. Thanks.</p>
<p>math is very broad and probably opens more doors than all the other liberal arts majors combined, econ not so much. it's a very popular pre-law major, not to mention pre-business, but any firm will tell you that econ alone is not going to get you a job you couldn't get with any other major.</p>
<p>That's good to hear, since math is currently my major, but am thinking of adding economics as another major or as a minor.</p>
<p>Math and econ together is a good preparation for a career in finance and banking in general. Go to business school, get your MBA, and make a ton of money on Wall Street. Understanding the mathematical grounding behind financial markets is a good thing.</p>
<p>Or you could always forget about all that money to be made, get your PhD in economics, and work in academia. From the little I've read, I think you can do a lot with mathematical modeling in economics. I know after a certain point, the distinction between economics and math becomes a little blurry.</p>
<p>..... or you could go to law school. Both math and econ stress the kind of logical thinking skills that will help you do well on the LSAT (law school admissions test). Bottom line, if you don't go into academia, you shouldn't be hurting for a well-paying job. So don't worry about it!</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for your feedback and advice. :) I'm not even worried about a well-paying job, I just look to find a career I enjoy. </p>
<p>For anyone who's in a math major, or anyone who knows anything about a math major, is it considered to be one of the more stressful majors? I know there's nothing to measure that on, since everybody's different, but some majors get a reputation (i.e., engineering being the most dropped-out major). </p>
<p>Thanks a lot, guys. Really appreciated</p>
<p>Pure math is arguably the hardest major, rivaled only by the most difficult engineering majors and the pre-med track. Applied math, on the other hand (my major), is much more manageable. It is also more practical in the work world if you don't want to work in academia. Almost all jobs labeled as math related or "numbers based" are using applied math.</p>
<p>The great thing about a math major, though, is that it's not that stressful despite the high difficulty level. While all your peers are writing papers or memorizing endless lists of definitions, you're watching TV trying to figure out that last problem. As long as you have time to sit down and think, math shouldn't be stressful at all.</p>
<p>What school do you go to, el duque, and what courses does your applied math major require?</p>
<p>At Berkeley, the Applied Math and pure Math majors are nearly equivalent in difficulty. For upper division courses, both require Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Numerical Analysis, Real Analysis, and Complex Analysis, with the difference being in 3 applied electives vs. 3 pure math electives.</p>
<p>I go to Emory, and I take most of the classes you mentioned with the exception of real analysis. The pure math and applied math majors have only 3 overlapping classes here as far as I know. I know Berkeley is known for math, but it seems silly to have two majors that differ by only 3 classes. That seems more like the same major with a different focus rather than two distinct majors.</p>
Hello,
Thanks for Asking…!!
There are different career options available for both maths & economics. But if you have interest in both subjects then you can pursue career in both subjects. because the merger of mathematics & economics is really useful & helpful.
There will be many career opportunities available for you after having this -
Actuary ,Financial Analyst , Investment Banking career, Statistician, Attorney, Economic Research , Educational Training, Professor or Researcher.
To pursue your dream of Lectureship, you have o clear csir net exam, which is a national level eligibility test.

I hope it will help you.
Best of Luck

This thread is quite old; I would imagine the OP has gone to college and graduated already
