Math and physics graduates are often recruited into quantitative finance jobs because their math background is stronger than that of a typical business major.

Actuarial science as used in risk management and insurance is also something that math graduates are recruited into. [Be An Actuary](http://www.beanactuary.org) has some information, including a list of courses at various universities that satisfy the “Validation by Educational Experience” (VEE) requirement (basically a few courses in economics, finance, and statistics, although sometimes the list of which courses qualify is not completely obvious until you see the actual list).
