WHAT JOBS CAN YOU GET WITH A MATHEMATICS MAJOR: The Importance of Math for Jobs | Nathan Dalaklis

While we will spend some time addressing the question "what jobs can you get with a mathematics major?" We will approach the question from the angle of what is the importance of math for jobs. Or rather, what qualities does studying mathematics develop that makes math majors attractive to job recruiters. Throughout the video, I will bring up various mathematics major career areas while going over two qualities that make mathematics majors a valuable resource for businesses hiring in the job market.

Although it is possible to get a job in any of the fields that are mentioned in this video with a math degree alone, it never hurts to strategize! Math builds a foundation for working in many of these areas, but you can usually become a better candidate for a job in those areas by adding some area-specific experience or knowledge too.

I made this video because the value of a mathematics major in the professional world was always something that I struggled with as a kid. It's not that I didn't enjoy math when I was little, I LOVED IT. However, I was always told when I was little that having a solid understanding of mathematics would foreshadow one's success in any one of several careers later on in life, but I didn't really understand why or how mathematics was valuable and I didn't really care because I enjoyed it so much. That was until I had to critically think about it for myself as I went through the job search process and this thought exercise continued on till when I actually started working. So I thought I would share how I view the value of a math major to the professional world today.

My biggest fear as math student right now is ending up as a high school teacher. I realized this after graduating but the majority of students dont even pay attention to you and I feel like I would be wasting my time. I know some of you love teaching but that's the reality. I would love to be a researcher or an actuary.

How to be a math person: Step 1. Be a person. Step 2. Do math.

I've always wanted to become a professional drummer, so I majored in math and now I program phones

Get a statistics degree. You can make it as rigorous as a math major with electives, as I’ve done so myself. Also it helps with getting jobs.

Thank you for taking the time to explain this.

Great video Nathan! Thanks. I think it's undersold how much government agencies rely on math backgrounds. The NIA, CIA, NOAA, NASA, DOJ, FBI, DOD, US Army Corps of Engineers all look for math degrees, and if someone has skills with handling/processing big data that demand just increases.

Your channel is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. I love math as an EE major right now and am actually considering going to grad school for applied math.

Hello. This video is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to see how studying a subject changes me as a person, and I haven’t really seen or heard people’s answers. Thank you so much for this perspective.

My strong mathematics background (BA, MA) helped a great deal in my engineering career (MS, PhD) . I was able to do very interesting analyses and formulate algorithms (from trajectories to modal analysis). Many engineers come up very short in math.

Wow, I got a BS in math a long time ago but never ended up using it. I didn't know what careers you can get with it. I wonder if I can still use it. Math was challenging but I actually kind of miss it these days.

Even something like farming requires math! What is the rate of feed depletion? Estimated costs, profit, etc. I am an Accounting major and although the math in this neighborhood isn't very sophisticated I still appreciate the value that it brings.

Dang, keep coming out with videos I want to add to my teaching list! My 8th graders are not ready to think about careers yet but this might put a bug in their to strategize and think :)

My fear is that with a math degree (which is what I want to do) is that you become a jack-of-all-trade master-of-nothing person who can't beat out any people who actually specialize with a specific major in college

I'm software engineering major, and I'm applying for math major for master's degree, because I love math so much, and it's my passion. I'm thinking what carrier opportunities I'll have
