Comment All Math Got Me was a Good Job, House & Family (Score 1) 301
With a degree in Math/CS from San Jose State, I work as a senior test engineer in the semiconductor industry. I design test algorithms, design circuitry for the fixtures that interface to the devices under test, characterize the behavior of those devices, improve test throughput, and analyze a variety of problems with the goal of getting a given device into efficient routine production. My work involves lots of electronics, electromechanics, human engineering (on the production floor) and sometimes interesting math problems. I use a variety of DSP techniques as needed. I really enjoy the work and have done this sort of thing for over 25 years at a variety of companies. It is a single example of where you can land with a math degree, a special interest (electronics in my case) and a love of technical problem solving.
