Title: I have a B.A. in both mathematics and secondary education... What should I get my master's in? Post by: dasmus on Jun 4, 2012 I'm currently teaching but would like to go into another field in the future. I guess my question is two-parts: First, what could I use my math degree for now? Most of the jobs I've looked at require a master's degree in mathematics. Second, what kind of graduate programs should I look at? I was thinking computer science, or finance, or some kind of engineering, maybe even mathematics, but I'm not sure what I'm qualified for based on my degree.

Post by: ashwhitley on Jun 4, 2012 If you know what college you'd like to attend, then I'd make an appointment with a career counselor or placement center there and talk to them. Math is definitely a necessary skill, but a math major is purely academic and leads mainly to teaching. It you have the math skills it might be good to branch out into something you're really interested in: computers, finance or engineering. Ultimately you want to be in a job you enjoy, so talking with a career counselor or life coach might help you organize your thoughts.

Post by: tokem97 on Jun 4, 2012 You have a solid undergraduate degree, I would try to go into actuary science with your background you can make a lot of money there and you won't be competing amongst many others with finance degrees. The right engineering degree can also be very lucrative and rewarding. Good luck!
