Lisa G.’s Answer

You might want to check out the website BeAnActuary (http://beanactuary.org) beanactuary. An actuary is a business professional who evaluates risk, often in an insurance company. You need to be a self starter as an actuary, so you can pass the exams required to get the credentials while you are also working in a business environment. But you don't have to go to school beyond an undergraduate degree to get these credentials. Penn State has a great actuarial program. Maybe you would like it.

Michaella’s Answer

My best friend majored in math and statistics, then she went on to do a Masters in Public Health, specializing in biostatistics. Her first job was at a hospital doing cancer research. Now she works for a pharma company doing a mix of consulting, research, and business modeling.

You could also become a business analyst if you are more interested in the business/corporate side.
