Can someone explain to me why math degree's make the big bucks. What kind of jobs are available specifically?

Can you really make six figures with a bachelors in mathematics?

Of course but you Will probably have to work more

look up Robert Tarjan and all your questions will be answered.
He's technically computer science, but he basically does what math PhDs do in industry (aka not academia).
He made his fortune in electronic stock trading.

MIT uses a 5.0 scale
getting a 3.6 means you're literally retarded @ 3.6/5.0

Sorry, that's a sacred secret known only to the initiates of the innermost math circles. Bound by oath to not tell anyone who isn't math.
