<3: What career options are available to someone with a bachelors degree in mathematics?
I’m seriously considering studying math. It’s the subject I’m most passionate about. Yes, I have TALENT in English, but I hate going to English class. I hate writing papers and doing vocabulary. I’d much rather go to Precalc or Calc or Trig or whatever and do an equation. I love solving for x, and puzzles are the most amazing thing ever. But what career options will I even have if I major in math?

Math is an excellent stepping stone to many careers.
I recently read that becoming an Actuary is one of the most stable jobs currently.
There is always need for math educators.
And continuing studies in engineering, medicine, computer science are always possibilities. Bottom line, you should study what you are passionate about.
If you have a talent in English, and a background in math, you can combine those 2 later. Tech writing, authoring books about math, etc…
Best of luck!

You can do quite a lot with a mathematics degree! Math skills apply to a wide range of fields, such as business & economics, actuarial science, statistics, academics & teaching, computer science, physics, engineering… I’ve even known math majors who ended up as actors, musicians and dancers!

Do a little research on Applied Mathematics, and you may be surprised at the number of options out there. Ultimately, you should narrow down fields based on what you enjoy doing (for example, if you like puzzles, you may want to look into cryptology and/or number theory).

My husband was the same way in school; he loved making up puzzles and math games (still does, actually). He later discovered that he enjoyed helping other people solve puzzles & problems as well. He has his undergraduate degree in mathematics, with Master’s degrees in math and computer science. He worked in finance for a bit before going to grad school, and is now very happy teaching Calculus and Discrete Mathematics at a large university.

(PS – Do not discount your talent in English. In any field, if you can write well and communicate clearly, it is a *huge* asset.)
