<p>I know I have time to think about this, as I haven't entered college yet and there's always the possibility of changing my mind/plans, but...</p>
<p>I plan on majoring and minoring in classics and math. Latin and math are my two favorite subjects (and while I'd love to do biology as well, Latin and mathematics outrank it). I have had this lifelong dream to be a veterinarian, and I'd be fine with that, but I'm finding the dream ebbing away as I get closer and closer to college.</p>
<p>I'm thinking about all the jobs that I think are out there, and I'm hard pressed to think of a Classics or math job besides teaching. </p>
<p>So, might I have a future career if I major in classics, or am I better off choosing the mundane math/science combo and going from there? Might a classics major help me if I decide to become a research type scientist?</p>
<p>To tell you the truth, I am very impressed by students who major in the more traditional fields like the classics, mathematics, philosophy, history, etc. Majoring in classics/math will truly sharpen your mind.</p>
<p>As for career prospects, math is one of the most employable majors, and I know many classics majors who go on to law, business, and med schools, ibanking firms, and journalism.</p>
<p>There is also teaching too. There is a strong demand for math and classics teachers in secondary education. Both are very versatile and employable majors.</p>
