I'm wondering how one avoids becoming a school teacher, actuary, or toilet cleaner with one of these. What are you mathfags doing?

lol, another retard who took a useless math degree. Enjoy teaching annoying high school brats with a shitty salary while I get hired into a high paying job with my Chemical Engineering honors.

They can't be more faggy than male arts students, can they?

Why would you want to avoid becoming an actuary though? It's a decent job.

actuary: guaranteed 6 figure job after you finish your FSA/CAS certification. if you plan ahead, you can be half-done with the exams by the time you finish your degree and making 6 figures in about 3-5 years.

Maybe an actuary is a decent job, it sounds boring as fuck though.

you guys are fucking stupid. no one is going to pay you anymore than entry level with a measly bs. almost all high paying jobs that require a math degree are ms/phd level with previous professional experience.

It's consistently listed in the top 10 or 20 highest salary jobs in the united states (depending on how many specialties of doctors they list)
investment banking is where the real money is (bonuses and such, not calculated in salary statistics)
>>19
Investment banking is an immoral and terrible job for equally immoral and terrible people.
I'm not impressed, because money is not the #1 thing to achieve in my life like I'm some brainless materialistic faggot.

Actually, money is a sign of success and (generally) fulfillment. You're deluding yourself if you really believe money isn't everyone's top priority (those without it, of course.) When was the last time you saw a content homeless person?
The happiness that comes with money hits diminishing returns pretty quickly after middle class. To the homeless person, $5 is the difference between going hungry for the night, and not going hungry. To the middle class (even graduate student), $5 really isn't that big of a deal.

I agree. For me, $5 isn't that big of a deal. The only ones who only care about having loads of money in life—and only that—are worthless douchebags. And it just proves to me that riches can't buy class.

My life's aim is to acquire a large pile of gold. Does this make me a bad person?

Money is important once you start a family. You need to aim for upper-middle-class.
