The students who do major in mathematics in college, taking the basic courses in differential equations, advanced calculus, abstract algebra, linear algebra, topology, logic, probability and statistics, real and complex analysis, etc., have a large number of options, not only in mathematics and computer science but in an increasing variety of fields which utilize mathematics. Even when companies recruit for jobs that have nothing to do with mathematics, they often encourage math majors to apply, since they know that analytical skills will serve anyone well, whatever the job.
