<p>You can get into the insurance industry as an actuary. The insurance industry does look for math people in their underwriting areas. Also, software development company who have a difficult time finding software engineers (due to location or lower wages than the Googles or Microsofts of the world) will train BS graduates in math in software engineering. Keep in mind that management positions will require you to go to graduate school.</p>

<p>Is your search now including jobs involving computers?</p>

<p>You can also go into financial fields, such as I-banking, trading and etc.</p>

<p>^ Probably not from a third tier university.</p>

<p>If you can fit in statistics courses, you should be able to find entry level jobs in that field.</p>

<p>Byrdman, could you be more specific about software companies willing to hire and retrain math majors? Can you give any specific examples of companies that do and/or are willing to do this?</p>

<p>P.S. I’m a math minor at a top 5 liberal arts college, if that matters.</p>

<p>Does the fact that you’re at a top 5 liberal arts college outweigh the fact that you’re a minor and not a major?</p>
