I have a very hard time getting people to understand that not all math majors are qualified for jobs that pay $100,000 per year. Hot shots from big name schools and a few from lesser schools get those jobs, but the average math major? It doesn't happen. Even if it happened, noone is going to hire a person with just a bachelor's degree in math to do financial modeling. That's what people with degrees in finance are for.

Assuming that you aren't being facetious, why do you think I sound perfect for jobs at those places?

It depends on how you manage your money, the type of lifestyle you are willing to settle for, etc.
