I am currently an undergrad in an applied mathematics program. I am afraid that my degree is a jack-of-all-trades master of none type of degree, and was wondering what different types of subjects I could pursue in graduate school. I am not interested in obtaining a PhD. I am primarily interested in a masters degree that will prepare me for a career. I am trying to compile a list of possible graduate school options.

My coursework includes:
- Both mechanics and electricity and magnetism for physics majors.
- The introductory computer science sequence for computer science majors, as well as a scientific computing course.
- All classes required for a typical math degree, including an applied math sequence, linear algebra, differential equations, real analysis.
- An option to take a multitude of higher level mathematics or computer science courses as electives in my senior year(I'm not there...yet anyway...).
- I have also taken the accounting for business majors sequence as it interests me, and managing money seemed like a practical skill to develop.

I am trying to compile a list of every possible program that I might qualify for, and then from this huge master list, over the next year or so I will pare it down to where I might want to apply.

As you are aiming for industry and coming from an interdisciplinary background, I would suggest taking a look at master programs in industrial engineering, operations research or perhaps financial engineering as you cited a background in math, computing and business.
