Where do I go as a math major?

I don’t know about investment banks. It doesn’t seem like I have a chance, because I don’t go to a top school, and my gpa probably isn’t high enough to even be considered. I applied to a ton of internships today with a bunch of different insurance companies though.

I looked into some actuarial positions too. I’ve never really seriously considered becoming an actuary before, and after looking at a sample actuary exam, I’m not quite sure if I could even do it. It looks really challenging. Honestly, I think the math subject gre looks less scary than an actuarial exam.

I plan on applying to a ton more internships. Anywhere and everywhere. Is that a good strategy? I’m just really worried that I won’t end up getting anything, since I don’t go to a top school, and my gpa is only a 3.35.
