IS MATHS A GOOD CAREER CHOICE?
With just one in 10 students in Year 12 electing to study high-level maths and a quarter of all students choosing not to study maths at all, the implications for national productivity are significant.
Studies consistently show Australian participation in secondary school advanced maths continues to decline, in spite of the demand in the growing tech, engineering and science industries which require employees have high-level maths qualifications.
So what are the career opportunities for students who take mathematics?
A degree in mathematics can provide you with many job options. Almost every field and industry rely on mathematical theory and data, and the likes of insurance companies, financial institutions, technology and engineering firms require employees with extensive knowledge of mathematics.
