Jobs out there for a math student?

Hello, I have a B.A. in religious studies that only led to some temp jobs as a receptionist, and I am actually not sure how I got it in the first place as it is only a minor interest to me. I always considered myself right brained due to my interests in literature, philosophy, and music, but the more career/inventory classes and tests I took it was obvious I had more of a left brained analytical personality. So, I started taking math classes at the community college as a hobby at night and am now in Calculus I getting A's. I think I might like to go back and get my BS to teach high school but I need to take some time off to earn money for school since I have to pay the whole thing myself this go around. also I am wanting to research other mathematical jobs out there and make the right decisions this time instead of mindlessly taking classes that don't connect to a job. What if any jobs out there can I get either now or after the two year degree?

Part-time math tutor perhaps. Usually, you can get a job doing this at your university. Or you might get a job grading stuff.
Reply:In the business world, an associate's degree holds very little merit. You would get a clerical position - the same as if you had only a HS diploma. I own a business, and even my receptionists have a college degree. If they don't have the skills for me to advance them and teach them the business, they are useless to my business.
