Until recently I had been planning on getting a PhD in pure math, and then working in academia, but I then decided that working in academia might not be for me. I still however would like to go for a math PhD, but my concern now is that depending on the concentration I choose, finding a job outside of academia might be harder or easier. I feel like I am interested in all sorts of math and so am open to changing my concentration based on what types of positions will be available to me after graduating. I was just wondering, what kind concentrations would be good for finding non-academic jobs post grad school?
I always hear that there are many jobs available to math PhD's and have had examples quoted at me like one math PhD my dad knows makes evacuation plans for cities in case of disaster or another one works planning traffic lights. I would love to do something where I got to use interesting math and apply it to tangible problems, I just don't know what sort of concentrations I should look at to be qualified for those kinds of jobs later.
