What careers are there for math majors? i've asked this for multiple people such as my school teachers in high school to my math major counseler but i never got a response i've liked.

i.e. i've heard most math majors become math teachers or accountants or work for companies. basically u teach the same thing again six times a day to little brats or crunch numbers.

anything better? or is it time for a major change? (pun not intended)

i've talked to math majors and just recently one of them said that they could get jobs mostly in marketing.

Unfortunately, there aren't many options for math majors when it's compared to other majors.

You are right, most of them turn into math teachers or work for a company to do some calculations for them. Actuary is quite popular as well (also very well demanded right now). If you don't what is given to you as a math major, I suggest you to look for some other majors (I am a math major but I also have other two majors to 'back up').
