I feel like if you don’t combine math with some other expertise (in biology, cs, physics, business, econ) the only profitable route (correct me if I’m wrong) is to get a PhD and be a professor.

<p>Sample size is pretty small for pure math for 2010, though past years’ surveys may have more information.</p>

<p>The math major does not have lots of requirements, and does not have time consuming labs, so it should be easy to throw in a few courses in areas of application (like statistics, economics, computer science, etc.) to give an edge for jobs and careers as a backup plan even if the goal is to do pure math in preparation for graduate school.</p>
