Interview: What can I do with a Mathematics Degree?

[peamutbubber]

Everyone always says maths leads to careers but I've never seen anyone actually explain all these different jobs

[kitsVideo]

He failed to give specifics as to careers that can result from mathematics...

[embracinglogic]

The question shouldn't be What can I do with a Mathematics Degree, but instead Is there demand in the Job Market  for people with skills in Pure Mathematics. Anyone can say that someone with a math degree COULD do this as a career, but if employers are picky and some skills are lacking, then the opportunity that exists is about 1/0.

[theboombody]

I love having a BS in math, and I do math as a hobby all of the time as evidenced by my videos, but for the most part employers and HR departments aren't looking for math degrees. I'm not crazy about that, but those seem to be the facts. If you want something a large pool of employers are looking for, you're better off with a computer science, accounting, or engineering degree. The second I got engaged I went back to school for an accounting degree.

[RLYKS]

I love math. I love learning it. I love researching mathmatical anamalies. I really dont know what to do with a mathematics degree though.

[PopaDom]

But he didn't answer the question...

[nauman.ashraf.]

i suck at maths but I love it. Its the only subject I never got bored of. but, I'm average at maths. Should I get a degree in it?

[johnbatchler]

All kinds of things but with the right combination of courses of math subjects it works

[Plysomack]

I will be done with my requirements for a B.S. in math by the end of today.  I still don't know what I'm going to do.

[cammorris]

I still don't know what I'd do with a math degree.

This video explains why math is a good minor

[johncounts]

Musicians can use math in composition too!

[itsdanieluk]

Results day is in 3 days, I hope I get in to Newcastle to study Maths.

[MiguelVazRamos]

what about a physics degree??
Do I have the same possibilities? Will I be able if I choose to persue a mathematics carreer?

[RedTriangle]

Prediction on what the answer will be: mathematics

[domkay]

I'm still in school, but I'm questioning whether I go into a maths degree or a physics/science degree. I enjoy both, but I'm not quite sure which one is more broad and which one will give me more opportunity after i graduate. Which one would be more broad?

[anthonymendoza]

What to do with a mathematics degree? For one, write software. That is the biggest one. Mathematicians make the best computer programmers. Just make sure that you apply at an engineering company and not some boring applications house.

[LucyWonglondonbodybody]

You need do Masters after in practical subject like finance or real estate investment or investment management plus develop better people skills.

[khairulasyrafzakaria]

I'm graduated of mathematics, hope to go to UK

[lakhendrasharma]

I ll complete my m.sc maths applied in August and I don't what to do next... I'm in a real shit...
