Mathematician - Problem Solved !

All those hours of studying algebra, trigonometry, and geometry pay off big time if you land a job as a mathematician or statistician. Too many students whose first love is mathematics turn away to a side area just because they are not aware of the fine career opportunities available in applied mathematics. Such students are making a serious mistake.
 Applied mathematical career opportunities are sufficiently comparable to those in other areas that you can comfortably base your decision on these two primary factors, taste and talent.  So many fields depend on the problem-solving skills of math gurus. Our National Defence Department, for instance, hires mathematicians to provide statistical analyses of strategies that determine military operations. Pretty important stuff (and the salary's pretty nice, too!). So, if you have a Math Guru in you this career is for you !!!!
