I guess I did not express myself clearly but I do not imply that I want to find a job that will only take a couple of applications and not expect over a 100 applications, but my understanding as I mentioned is that finding a researcher or teaching role at universities is far more competitive...

I know what the Mathematical Association of America is and recall going to that website and had looked up the list of jobs before making this post. I don't know the acronyms commonly used in certain communities which can be spelled out differently in different communities- big deal. However, I...

That is not necessarily what I mean. My understanding is that academia is far more competitive than many industry jobs especially for adjunct professor positions.

This is quite reassuring. Thanks for @Locrian for giving an in depth response about the nuances of programming. I guess my opinion of computer science will change as I take more CS classes and I'm making judgements too early.

I am thinking of pursuing masters or a type of professional masters program to improve job outcomes, but I rule out academia because I realize I do not actually have the patience to do research for multiple years. Also the fact that academia is competitive which I'm sure most people understand.

Sorry, but I don't know what "MAA" stands for and you could've hyperlinked. I'm looking for discussions about types of career paths math majors can take which other commenters have provided and not just a simple list I can google search, otherwise why would I make this post?

I do not feel entitled for a job as a math major. I understand the argument on both sides about the purpose of higher education, but it does not help that my university costs an arm and leg to attend so I feel like I need a lucrative job after graduation. You don't provide any solid advice about...

Whenever I ask what are the potential jobs for math majors, it's related to data science or software engineering where being proficient in programming is required. I notice that it's generally okay for programmers to be bad at math, but math majors are usually expected to be good at...
