Exciting Career Options For Math Lovers

By Carey Bourdier


For some of us, English and history classes are a favorite, and for others, algebra, geometry and calculus are the types of classes we prefer. For those who enjoy studying various aspects of mathematics, there are many great career choices to consider. Not only are these careers interesting, they tend to provide you with an excellent salary.

If you love math, you might be considering working toward a degree in general mathematics, but it is a much better idea to explore your options and find a specialized degree, such as accounting. In this way, you will graduate from college and be better prepared to enter the workforce. If you do wish to enter the world of accounting, it is a good idea to train to become licensed as a certified public accountant, as there is a bigger demand for CPAs and you tend to earn a higher salary.

If you love the ocean, you might consider attending the United States Merchant Marine Academy and learning the skills of navigation or marine engineering. This could include training that will allow you to design, build or repair ship engines or to navigate various naval and private vessels using high-tech devices such as SONAR as well as tools such as sextants, alidades, protractors and other navigational tools.

Of course, the computer industry is yet another option for those who love math. You could consider majoring in computer programming, which is still a much-needed skill. Another idea is to train to become a computer systems analyst, and this is an individual that works in the field of information technology, setting up computer systems for various companies or institutions. Computer systems analysts are in high demand and typically earn a very respectable salary. Computer science is another option, and for this you will need a doctorate in computer science that will provide you with enough training to design new technology or improve upon current technology.
