What job/career opportunities are available for someone with a double major in math and physics?

Sounds like a formula for academia, if you get your doctorate.

Generally physics can qualify you for a lot of the same jobs as engineers.

Consider developing trading algorithms for investment banks and hedge funds. Math majors can earn quite a bit. If you can solve the physics problems related to data calculation and transmission, you could go far. Check job listings at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

Are you taking about a Bachelor’s or an advanced degree? Both “math” and “physics“are too vague to have any meaning in today’s world of subspecialties.. What sort of math/ and or physics?

Check out Math4Love for one creative solution.

@gailcalled , This is off topic, but I found your link interesting. What it suggests is that there need to be changes to the way that teachers are taught to teach math. The good news is that apparently these changes can be very effective.

There is a Fluther member with the name finkeilitis, who is very knowledgeable about math. He once said something about wanting to devote his time to teaching it. Do you know if he is the Dan Finkel on Math 4 Love?

(^^^ Yes, he is my nephew. His partner in this very successful venture is his lovely bride, Katherine. I wish that they had been my math teachers in college.)
