I was pointed to a piece in the New York Times which says that being a mathematician is the best job in the U.S. A study evaluated 200 occupations against five criteria: environment, income, employment outlook, physical demands and stress. Being a mathematician – a career path that the New York Times says provides a “steady stream of lucrative, low-stress jobs” – came top of the list, followed by Actuary and Statistician. So all of the top three are jobs for mathematics graduates.
