Career Opportunities 

A 2009 article in the Wall Street Journal on ranking of jobs according to five factors (environment, income, outlook, physical demands and stress) reported that the top three jobs are:

  • Mathematician
  • Actuary
  • Statistician

To explore the wide range of career possibilities in the Mathematical Sciences, we suggest reviewing the resources found on the websites of some of the professional societies in these areas:

American Mathematical Society (ams.org)

Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (siam.org)

Society of Actuaries (soa.org)

American Statistical Association (amstat.org)

Mathematical Association of America (maa.org)
