I was told that pure maths majors are hard to find job beside staying in school. i want to go for engineering maths or actuarial science depends what class they will offer after this semester.

I would like to do engineering or economic application. The only trouble i encounter in maths is that some of the topic is too abstract.
 

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'
