kathkath Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm wondering if there are math-based jobs out there that one can reasonably expect to make a decent wage working part time?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Actuary? It might be hard to do part-time right out of college, but I have known several established actuaries who have left large firms and freelanced or worked part-time for their former big firms. I am an employee benefits attorney, so I work regularly with actuaries. I would expect an experienced part-time actuary to get $100'ish an hour from a firm, more freelance.

AngieW in Texas Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 http://saplinglearning.catsone.com/careers/index.php?m=portal&a=details&jobOrderID=2384247 I got hired a few days ago by Sapling as a part-time conceptual physics problems author. I'm just waiting for them to send me the forms I have to get filled out and notarized. Physics author pays $25/hour, so math author probably does too. It's completely online and I can work any hours I choose. I just have to put in 15 hours/week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candid Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Actuary is a good one to investigate. In a similar vein is CPA, not exactly math and I think you would have to work full time at first, but after that I think a good free-lance CPA could set their hours.

wapiti Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The answer might depend on what you mean by "math." Arithmetic? Logic? "Real" math? Problem-solving? Is this for yourself or what one of your kids might look forward to if they like the math that they've been exposed to thus far? For your kids, the options might be limitless. For you, I suppose the options would depend on your current background and the extent to which you're interested in further education. With a little more info, there are some math majors (not me) around here who might be able to offer comments or suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
