High-Paying Jobs for Math Nerds

I love math and money and would like a job involving both. I am getting ready to start college and want to pursue a degree in something which will help me secure a job. Any ideas?

Answer:
Several! Math and money can be a powerful combination, especially if you can excel in school. Let's look at a few categories that you can consider:
  • Technology. These would include areas such as computer programming and various forms of engineering. Especially if you like a bit of science along with your math, this might be the way to go.
  • Accounting. It's more than just tax accounting, which is a fine field in its own right although a bit limited. Corporate accounting can get you involved in wider fields of budgeting and financial strategies which can be very rewarding, intellectually and financially.
  • Banking and Finance. If the financial markets interest you, the investment business has never been more dynamic. You can approach this field with a broad-based degree like economics, or more specifically through financial management.
You may already have a preference for one of the above. If not, another approach would be to work towards a general business degree and take courses in some or all of the above fields to see which piques your interest. At that point, you should still have time to choose the major that interests you the most.
