"Mathematics and math-related careers are consistently rated among
the top five best careers. Actuaries and statisticians are in demand in
business, government and industry, while an increasing number of
businesses and organizations rely on mathematical modeling to solve
their most perplexing problems. A severe shortage of qualified K-12
math teachers makes education a good career choice, and math grads
are sought after for graduate and professional programs."
