Why Should You Major in 数学?

数学, 统计数据, Applied 数学, and 保险精算学 are consistently ranked among the majors with highest earning potential (see 薪级表薪级报告), with many careers opportunities available after graduation.

对法学院感兴趣?  主修数学!  数学 majors score higher (on average) on the LSAT than history majors, political science majors, English majors or economics majors.

Interested in a graduate business degree? 主修数学!  数学 majors, on average, do very well on the GMAT.

Interested in grad school in engineering or physics?  医学院怎么样？?  A mathematics major is great preparation!

Of course you can always major in mathematics to become a math teacher or professor, 但也有职业 quality control, operations research, statistics, and actuarial science, to name a few that want employees with strong math backgrounds.  这些职业通常 land at or near the top of surveys of job desirability based on environment, income, employment outlook, physical demands and stress level.  (例如参见the 增长最快的职业 according to the Bureau of Labor 统计数据.)

请查看 MAA在线职业简介 webpage for lots of examples of careers in mathematics and related fields.
