Something about these answers isn't quite adding up. Are the commenters just trying to divide us?
Some comments seem like the product of some kind of operator. It's as though they have a quotient they're trying to fill for number of posts.
As the number of comments multiplies, I have to wonder if they think they are making a difference.
Spooks (governmental, NGO or the companies who have convenient offices nearby) are always interested in hiring mathematicians.
Teaching, winning grants and awards, paid analyst
Depends on which kind of mathematician you ask for, can he utilize said math in engineering, for example, or does he only know pure math?
You out math people who have money so they give money to you.
The trick is you make it a complex black box so that no one knows how it works. See debt derivative models.
Mathematicians are very sought after in finance and (quantitative) consulting as well as in software engineering.
Agencies like the NSA really like mathematicians so there is use for them in cryptography
By figuring it out.
Physicists get jobs everywhere. They require lots of math, but other info too.
Not really an answer as I don't know any specific math majors other than teaching?
I always thought of maths as a language, and physics as using that language to describe everything in the world. I often describe my physics degree as a degree in problem solving, so a maths degree would be similar but more abstract problem solving. So for jobs just about anything that is technical or requires abstract thought.
I have a friend working on a Master's in math. Get back to me in a year or two, and I'll let you know what he's doing.
