This advice applies to everyone in a similar situation.

Go find the professional organization in your major area. Physicists, chemists, biologists, engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, etc... all have professional organizations that they can belong to. Once you find one, there's a very good chance they also have (i) a webpage (ii) regular mailings/newsletter/journals (iii) job listings. The BEST way to know what kinds of jobs that are available for your particular major would be from such a source. Employers looking for mathematicians would tend to advertize in a professional publication for mathematicians - it only makes sense.

You did not indicate where you are, either in your posting, or in your profile (this can be quite relevant in seeking jobs, don't you think?). If you are in the US, the American Mathematical Society has an excellent homepage, with a job listing link. You may want to go there and see what kind jobs that are available.

As a math major, there are a wide variety of career opportunities available to you outside of teaching and research. Math skills are highly valued in many industries and can lead to a successful and fulfilling career. Some potential job options for math majors include actuary, data analyst, statistician, financial analyst, operations research analyst, and software engineer. These roles often require strong analytical and problem-solving skills, which are developed through studying math.

In addition, many employers value the critical thinking and logical reasoning abilities that math majors possess. This can open up opportunities in fields such as consulting, management, and even marketing. Many companies also offer internships and entry-level positions specifically for math majors, so keep an eye out for those opportunities as well.

If you are interested in combining your math major with other professional subjects, there are certainly options available. For example, you could pursue a career in healthcare analytics or actuarial science, which would require knowledge of both math and a related field. You could also consider pursuing a minor or double major in a complementary subject, such as computer science or economics, to expand your career options.

Overall, the key is to market your math skills and highlight how they can be applied in various industries. Don't limit yourself to just teaching or research if those are not your interests. With a math degree, you have a strong foundation for a successful and versatile career. Best of luck in your job search!
