Full Careers

What is a good career for a person with a degree in mathematics?

I am currently a high school math teacher, but I am quickly becoming sick of the laziness in a lot of today's youth. Even my Calculus students do not do their homework!! Because of this, I am considering a career change. I am lucky in that my degree is a bachelor of science in math with a teaching certificate. Does anyone have any suggestions for a career with this degree?

1. well u could always do a post graduate and be an accountant or an actuary (which pays big). Also u could get a phd and become a lecturer
2. Construction engineer.
3. Actually your current profession is quite admirable. I suggest you continue teaching if you are good at it. Find a different venue to provide your talents. There are many students out there and many who want to learn.
4. Actually, actuary (pardon the pun)
5. Why not see about openings in oyher schools. It would be a shame to wast your talent on something less rewarding.
6. Accountant
