You can get a job with a BS no problem some company's want to train their employees and given your degree they can pay you a smaller salary starting off and then pay you to study, this makes you a hot commodity;). Or you could go calculate the probabilities and gamble for a living (there are integrals in some of that stuff).
Hi I recently graduated with a 3 year BS, Mathematics major/ Computer Science minor. Like everyone else is saying here, there are a lot of job opportunities. If you like Algebra, go for government high security cryptology positions.
I presently am a consultant programmer/analyst and I am preparing for my first Actuary Examination, which I will be writing in 3 weeks. I've had a variety of job opportunities which I could pursue and I have Insurance related Company's wanting me to send them my resume because not too many people write the Actuary exams. There are jobs out there you just gotta know where to look!
The software I am going to be working on is related to the insurance industry which goes hand-in-hand with the whole Actuary Business, I'm still a bit up in the air myself as to weather I like Computer Science more or Math more?
But I guess only time will tell, and getting experience while figuring that out is the best way to do it!
Definitely, write the Actuary exams if you have the skills to do so while the math is still recently embedded in your brain, it will open up more job opportunities for you.
Cheers,
Monique
