Is a bs in math just bs?

it does if you minor or double major in cs, or if you go to a top school. i studied applied math at a shitty state school and make $35k/yr doing manual labor on swing shift because i can't find any better jobs. going back for my masters in accounting so I can get a real job.

If I do a finance degree with a minor in mathematics at a target school

you'll probably be able to get a great job but talk to people at your school and see how the alumni have done.

who you know and where you live is more important than what you study or even how well you do

girlfriends cousin just graduated with a bs and ms in math and is currently teaching high school trig.

where?

private or public school?

If you're grades are good you can probably get into a big four like Deloitte. I know a guy that majored in mech eng and worked at Deloitte. Supposed to be rough starting out though.

A lot of math grads reserve themselves to teaching, which I think is a waste (given the state of the teaching field) because as someone like me that is below average at math, I think the ability to do it and do it well shouldn't be wasted.

I know a guy with a masters in math and he managed to get a job at IBM doing something right out of college.

MIT math majors are highly sought after by financial firms. But you probably go to West Undershirt U, so it won't be as useful.

no, math degrees doesnt really "lead to jobs", but there are a lot of different jobs in business/finance that you can get if you actually apply to them.
