What are some entry-level jobs for a math bachelor's degree?
I've just graduated with a bachelor's degree in math, and I'm looking for a job that I won't have to go back to school for. My degree's mostly been focused on pure math, and some dynamic systems/fractals. I've taken a couple classes in Python, and one class each in R, Java, and SPSS. I've also taken classes across lots of areas, so any interdisciplinary jobs might be interesting. If I have to go through a little bit of training or self-study that's alright, but I'd like to start working as soon as possible. I'd also like to have a fair amount of free-time if that's possible: just not too much overtime work. Thank you all for your advice and let me know if you have any questions for me to narrow things down!

What sort of tasks does a mathematician commonly do in their job?
While I know the image of "people in suits crunching numbers" is wholly false, I'm not actually all that sure about what mathematicians (whether they're studying topology, physics, or any branch beyond) commonly do as a part of their occupation. Is it more akin to individual work or research in a team? Is it something concrete like solving real world problems or more pure number theory? #applied-mathematics #math #math-major
