Your school’s math dept should have listings of jobs for students with math degrees (I know UW-Madison does, but they’re “only” around top 15 for math grad school). Son chose to wait with math grad school (long story, but he’s young, still 21)- he also completed a comp sci major along with some grad level math courses as an undergrad and got a job as a software developer (the company was looking for many related majors, not just comp sci). Talk to your math advisor and check in with your department. UW’s Math Department has a lot of info on their website that is open to the public- other schools must as well. Math can be a passion but adding courses for more job opportunities could be helpful. Do plan on the GRE and math GRE before you graduate while you are at your best.
