what careers involve skills with numbers?

Being good with numbers opens up a lot of exciting opportunities!

You can go into Accounting or Finance and have a career as a Tax accountant, Financial advisor, Banker or Investment Banker. You can also join any business and build a career in corporate Finance, or Billing, Pricing and Business cases.

You can also choose a career in Marketing or Market Research if you study and like Statistics.

If you love to teach, you can also study Math Education!

Math was my strong subject in school and studied Economics and Business. This helped me start a career in Finance but soon I moved to Marketing and Product Management, where I have used my Math skills to build Revenue and Expense forecasts to run business cases and see if my product will profitable. Now, I am in a Strategy role and help the business make decisions on how to make more money!

Computers, IT

Hey Ana,

When I was looking at what college to join, I actually asked a similar question myself! I always loved math and numbers growing up, and when I had to start turning that into a decision for a career, it was quite daunting! I investigated quite a few careers, but I eventually studied Computer Science and Mathematics in college and became a Software Engineer.

Programming uses so many of the same skills that math does, so I'd encourage anyone who loves math and numbers to at least do some research into a career in Software Engineering and give it a chance!

Hello!

I was also interested in math throughout school, but wasn't sure what to do with it initially. I went to college for Math and Computer Science so programming is certainly an option and uses a lot of the logic skills you have from strength with mathematics. I ended up going into insurance. I am underwriter. I work with actuaries and our sales teams to run calculations and determine appropriate pricing. This is not something I had a lot of familiarity with before graduating college and I have definitely enjoyed the blend of math and other skills this role provides.

Best of luck!

There are a lot of careers where being skilled with numbers is an advantage. Of course, there are accounting/finance jobs, but also teaching jobs (tutor or in a school), statisticians, banking, economists, and several others.
