I got my BA in Math several years ago and wound up becoming a carpenter. While I wouldn't say I use my upper level math skills in my day to day work, I do use the logic skills for problem solving, as well as some of the homeowners can be impressed that they've hired someone who is (hopefully) a little more intelligent and respectable than the other guy. And for a bonus I stay in way better shape that I could if I were a desk jockey. There is certainly more to the world of math than becoming a teacher or an engineer, it's just harder to realize...
