Finance or Economics could be a really good option.

Andrew’s Answer
Mathematics is the language of science and technology. Excelling in mathematics opens many doors in STEM and other disciplines such as economics.
In deciding a college major, you should ask yourself in where your passion is. It would be a much less satisfying life if you end up in a career not because of you love of it, but for financial sake.
You may not need to declare your major in your freshman year in college. Hence, take your time to explore a little bit before you commit to a major. Still, your declaration of a major is not cast in stone. You should feel free to change your mind if necessary. That may cost you some credit hours, but it may still be worthwhile in the end.

Excelling in math can open many doors for you. In deciding my own path, I tried to focus on what my strengths were and what I thought I would enjoy doing long term. After exploring a couple of different career options involving Math, I landed on Accounting. During my research, I liked the option of becoming a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and being able to take many different career paths with that certification. With a foundation in Accounting it would qualify me for many different roles in the Business World. Thus far in my 13 year career that has proven to be very true. I have spent time working in Public Accounting, Internal Audit, and now Operational Assurance.
Take your time in researching different careers and see what interests you and fits you best. Try to also take into account personal things you might want out of your career. Do you want work from home flexibility? Do you want to travel? etc. Don't forget if you start down a path and decide something is not for you, that's ok. You could always pivot.
Best advice; do your research, and go with your gut. No one knows you better than YOU.

Edgar’s Answer
This is the main question I asked myself when deciding what to major in. I looked in my local universities and my favorite was Financial Engineering. The math level needed to be a financial engineer is one of the highest amongst all engineering paths and also very useful since it combines math with programming and finance which are great for business right now. You could even work for the government since it involves economics as well.
Furthermore, you could also consider majoring in math since it has a lot of space to move. Top companies worldwide need people who can develop complex math models.
