What Can You do with a Math Degree?

Math plays a vital role in science, technology, finance, aviation, communications and countless other industries. But, what can you do with a math degree can actually be flipped to “What can’t you do with a math degree?” since so many of today’s knowledge-based careers require excellence and aptitude in mathematics and quantitative reasoning. These careers also emphasize logical problem solving, critical thinking and decision making, skills honed through the study of math.

Here we help math majors better understand their educational and career options. The following are the top Jobs You Can Get With a Math Degree:

Mathematician - Mathematician is the most obvious of all math major jobs. A mathematician is someone who enjoys solving problems through numerical analysis. You might find yourself researching new theories and concepts, developing mathematical models, or analyzing data to solve business problems.

Statistician - Working as statistician means dealing with data and helping to find practical solutions to problems. Statisticians interpret data and communicate results to their clients, often with the aid of mathematical techniques and software. In this role you'll ensure that complex statistical concepts are explained in a way the client can understand, and advise on strategy. Some studies take only a few months to complete, while others require years of work.

Math Teacher/Professor - As a secondary school teacher you can teach a subject you love and engage pupils in learning and preparing for their future.
