I have a friend who graduated from Daemen a few years ago with a BA in Math with a minor in accounting. She has been working at a food quality lab since before she graduated and wants a change. Anyone have any leads?
Thanks!

Gonna have a lot better luck on the accounting side than the math side. Every company has books.

I know a Finance Manager with the same degree. As Joe said everyone has books!
What is it she wants to do though? There is always the option of decide what you like, work entry level in that field if necessary and move up or do night school with something more specific to the field she desires.

I’d probably look into maybe payroll jobs or as mentioned accounting of some sort.

I don’t know if she has anything too specific in mind, but if anyone has any leads that would be sweet.

I get that you are trying to do your friend a solid, but this half assed game of telephone to find her a job based on the fact that she has a math degree and no idea what to do is not the solution.
“guys my friend has a degree and is working a job not in that field and wants a change, anyone know of anything she can apply to? she has no real direction nor wants to do the legwork herself, anyone want to give her a job?”

Maybe she could offer a service where she calculates real world fuel costs for various vehicles and prevents people from losing money buying an expensive high MPG hybrid when a traditional gas engine will actually cost less overall?

well, with no details other than she has a bachelors in math, I will state that Ingram is nearly always hiring. Looks like nearly 250 open positions right now in the US.

And let’s spend $30k/year while we’re at it. It blows my mind that people go to to private schools without a career in mind.
