> > What should I major in in college? I like math, and up until a few weeks ago I was certain I would at least start out majoring in that, but now I'm not sure. It doesn't seem like there are jobs for math majors, and the point of going to college is to be better fit to get a job. I could major in economics, or statistics... those are close to math, and might get me a better chance of finding a job, but I'm still not sure. It's possible that I could do a double major. My college of choice has a 5 year double major program, so if I get in there I might take advantage of that. I basically just want opinions on what you think the best idea would be.

> The first thing is to find out whether your assumption is right that there aren't jobs for math majors. I typed in "careers math" in Google and got a *lot* of possibly useful links there. One of them is below. The Mathematical Association careers page is also linked from this page. Do some research into what math majors can end up doing, and you will have a better idea of its potential value to you.

Now that I've looked through the site a bit more, and read how one math major now has a job working on assembly of nuclear missiles, my recommendation to Wes is that he majors in theatre arts, or possibly just drops out and becomes a homeless vagabond.
