If you liked computer science, I find it strange that you did not pursue a minor or a double major in the subject. It is common for mathematics majors to do so.

Still, I have been bemoaning the deficiencies of America's undergraduate mathematics program philosophy for years, and nobody wants to listen. Academics never change (I'm one of them, and it's a sad reflection) and students don't want to believe what I'm telling them. Still, your situation is a very common one. I wish you all the best in finding a job.

Just out of curiosity, what was your main interest in undergraduate mathematics? What courses did you particularly enjoy? If your answer(s) are limited to things like abstract algebra, topology, and, God help you, real analysis, then you are pretty much in trouble.
