<p>What exactly can you do with a BS Math that DOES NOT involve a bunch of computer work? I love math but hate computer classes.</p>
<p>Besides teach of course.</p>
<p>You realize the irony of asking this question in an online forum?</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity: what sort of computer classes have you taken so far and what did you dislike about them?</p>
<p>i’m gonna be a freshman in college next year. I have always loved solving puzzles. Doing math problems for fun just for the challenge. In HS i took a programming (intro) course and hated it. and i just dont like using computers that much in general. I took Calc 1 in HS and got an “A” btw</p>
<p>and yes, i do realize the irony but oh well</p>
<p>How is that ironic? You don’t have to understand how computers work to get on the internet.</p>
<p>chris, you don’t have to know how computers work to work with them on a job, either. You don’t think looking for jobs that do not involve computers with the help of a computer is ironic?</p>
<p>To the OP: Most if not all jobs that require a major in math or a related field are either in academia or quantitative in nature, meaning you’ll pretty much have to use a computer because of the sheer amount of data involved. The other option are jobs open to any liberal arts major. </p>
<p>So let’s rephrase your question: What jobs are there that do not involve a significant amount of computer work? I am afraid the no-computer rule rules out all office work. That leaves:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Professions working with or on people: teachers, salesmen, nurses, counselors, lawyers, physicians, hair dressers, diplomats, politicians etc. </p></li>
<li><p>Professions working with physical things: bench scientists, some architects and engineers (though I would guess that computer models have become very important in these professions as well), cooks, mechanics, construction workers, truck drivers, film productions etc.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see, a math major wouldn’t be particularly helpful for the vast majority of these jobs. You could also consider a double-major in an area of interest or professional school.</p>
<p>I think the OP just meant that he didn’t want to program–not that he didn’t want to use a computer at all. A fair number of math majors coming out of top universities go to work in the financial services industry.</p>
