Nicholas’s Answer

Accounting, financial advising, engineering, science, biologists, estimations, bankers, stock brokers, doctors, pharmacists. Just about any career uses math at one point in their life. If you're passionate about math, then don't worry! You'll find a career for that in just about anything! If you hate math, you might want to become a writer or photographer!

Simeon’s Answer

I would consider finance and accounting if you are looking for reliable careers to look for a career in. You can end up in any number of industries or companies, so you have a much better chance of finding a place in the world that works for you.

Finance, accounting, and engineering all use a lot of math. Engineering math will be substantially more difficult that finance and accounting.

Hi Arianna!

That is a great question. Short answer is: Every career uses math. I would say it is the backbone of all other fields. You can become a successful engineer, accountant, and even a doctor if you are good in math.
