<p>Pandem, nothing came up. It seems that I am not really qualified for anything.</p>
<p>mathematik, what the heck are you looking for? What is your dream? Certainly you are not willing to do just any job at all.</p>
<p>A job that combines mathematics and computers will do.</p>
<p>I started out as a math major, but I switched. </p>
<p>I used to want to be an actuary.</p>
<p>Look it up.</p>
<p>Well, what did other math majors from your school end up doing?</p>
<p>Probably teaching or grad school.</p>
<p>Computers, finance, actuarial science…</p>
<p>Hi Mathematik,</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat as you. I’ve recently graduated with a Bachelors in Math and while I have a job teaching at a community college, administration in my state is working to eliminate the department my degree qualifies me to work in. I’m left trying to figure out what else I can do that isn’t teaching high school or being an actuary. </p>
<p>I don’t know if it’d be of any help but here’s a link: [Who’s</a> Hiring Math Majors](<a href=“http://math.tntech.edu/who-is-hiring.html]Who’s”>http://math.tntech.edu/who-is-hiring.html) to a listing of some jobs that educators claim are available for math majors. I don’t know about you but I’m leery of job security working for the government, state or federal.</p>
<p>If computers are also your interest, you may want to look at taking more advanced programming or networking classes than you already have? While I chose a pure math route at my university, there were options to take a basic programming and data structures classes as part of the math degree. You may be able to find classes at a community college that you could take that would further your understanding in that area without costing you an arm and a leg or necessitating a more advanced degree.</p>
<p>Just suggestions! I’m not the computer sort, so I’ve been exploring ways to combine math and the medical realm (I minored in exercise physiology) while avoiding med school and/or nursing. There are options… I hope…</p>
<p>Why don’t you go to grad school for a masters degree?</p>
<p>Some of the <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/1121619-university-graduate-career-surveys-4.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/1121619-university-graduate-career-surveys-4.html</a> list job titles and/or employers by major (e.g. Virginia Tech, Cal Poly, Berkeley, MIT, CMU).</p>
<p>I think math major sounds marketable in theory. In practice, well, it’s tough, especially if you’re a pure math type with only an undergrad degree. Statistics major would have an easier time; they have exposure to SAS, R and whatever in conjunction with their courses. Actuary sounds pretty good, but it requires many peripheral courses such as accounting, finance, economics to sit for the exams. If you don’t want any further education, perhaps a quickest way is to take a certificate program in computer program/science at a local community college or something. That, couples with your math degree, you’re 100% marketable.</p>
