Your reward is ur degree. Start from there. I hate people who want to be spoon fed all the way. Do something and u would realize that all courses can be applied in many areas of life. Moving on. |

OP, i believe mathematics is one of the best programs you can ever study as an undergrad. there are so many opportunities out there for the math graduate. finance is increasingly becoming too complicated for mainstream finance, people with strong mathematical backgrounds are now needed in finance more than ever. you can also go into IT, Actuarial science (an interesting place to be if you love math), energy (your skills in optimization is very valuable here), investment banking (don't go there if your math is not good. its a mathematicians world bro... |

Xtargold: This question has been on my mind for a very long time.Are there really job opportunities for graduates of Mathematics......i mean a place u can really apply what u read in school?I'm tired of hearing things like ['a mathematician can work any where'......anywhere as what? You come across as someone whose first course choice is not mathematics, hence your predicament. I advise that you change your attitude towards mathematics as a whole; then, you will see job opportunities where you didn't see them before. To your success. |

I am graduate of Electrical Engineering have being on the practical field for the past 11 years, it is rewarding and has given me a lot of exposure and opportunities which among is the fact that "SELF CONFIDENCE AND INTEREST" are two major ingredients necessary for your career success. I state this first to avoid lousy comments of some nairalanders who does not have patience to read and understand before reacting. Having said this, to the poster of this thread, there are 1001 ways of applying knowledge obtain from studying Mathematics(and any other courses), virtually in all fields of study, APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE EARNED is what brings results, solves problems, gives satisfaction and fulfilment of goals. Finally, my brother if I may state here that if I should have opportunity to choose a course to study again MATHEMATICS SHALL BE FIRST CHOICE BECAUSE OF ITS VARIOUS APPLICATIONS. Research and find area of application you are interested in and you are made. 2 Likes |

OP, the issue is that what matters isn't your knowledge, but how to apply your knowledge to real life situations. Having a Mathematics background gives you good analytical capabilities so you'll need to see which area of life you'll be able to apply these skills: Engineering, Economics, Energy, Environment, finance, geology etc. What our university does not do is teaching us how these skills can be applied in real life. I'm afraid, you'll need to learn this yourself. You may need to take some time out, may be some months, to explore a field where you can apply your theoretical knowledge. Diverting to applied statistics/econometrics may help since they are more applicable to real life. The world of today needs people with multidisciplinary background and expertise, so expand your horizon. Otherwise, the classroom may likely be your destination. Cheers! 1 Like |

Yes, the options are many for a maths graduate in terms of job opportunities. The great advantage is mathematicians are fewer in number becos those who are good or love the course are just a few. In some levels you can find about 10-15 studying the course and at times only 4-5 of such students graduate at the end. So imagine having few mathematicians applying for a position to which only mathematicians are qualified to apply. The chances are higher for you to be employed than when you have all categories of people applying for a position. 1 Like |

opendo21: Well just think deeply about it, follow your heart. I was at this stage too during service and was also writing the ICAN exams but I just didn't have passion for all those book-keeping stuff (sorry to all accountants,but that's how I see it) someone introduced me to the actuarial exams, I did a little research and that just clicked it for me. It's tough but very rewarding as you can work ANYWHERE in the world once you are a qualified actuary. Please, can you give ♍ƺ the link to the Actuarial Exams? Thanks |

starlight®®: guy, oil and gas operations are mostly specialized operations, it is not about who fits in but who gets the job. do you know any reservoir engineer in exxon with Bsc maths? that is where you should focus and stop peddling conjectures. next you will tell us about one bsc agriculture who is dreaming to be a method engineer with Total because his olodo lecturer told him you can work 'anywhere', where the heck is ''anywhere'' in Nigeria? FYI most res. engrs I know are hardly natural scientists, they are mostly earth scientists or specialized engineers. some students like talking drunk, you will be suprised that the bingo that made the claim up there hasn't seen one in his life. 1 Like |

Why is everybody's opinion so skewed towards the oil and gas companies as if anyone that studies mathematics would just stroll in and be given a job? Why is no one looking at the possibility of Epidemiology? Though, that sounds weird in this part of the world but I tell you... Well, I studied mathematics, graduated with a 3rd class but today I own my own consultancy firm in HSE, Risk Mgt & Public Health Research (Epidemiology option). 1 Like |
