In my prior role I managed a team that did data analytics and predictive modeling for a large financial company (but not on the trading side). If the question is what you can do with a BS in math or science, well, teach or become a computer programmer/tech is about it...The entry level jobs in that field require an MS or PhD.
I hired two "newbies" for my team -- one with a master's degree in Applied Mathematics and one with a PhD in Computer Science (but really he was more of a computational mathematician/programmer). One was a us citizen and one was on the special US School PhD version of the H1B. Having been involved in the recruiting and hiring I know that in this one case the H1B status didn't affect the salary offer. Both started at significantly more than $50k...
Before the flame begins, note that I said "in this one case". I know too many IT professionals who are basically paid slaves to abusive companies, too.
