It's been six years and Dh needs a job! Was in kollel till now.
We are chassidish, Dh had gone to high school but no higher education ( no college as of yet).
He has special outstanding talent with numbers. He is a math whiz! Anything number related and he's game.
He said he doesn't want to do accounting. Any other options. A field where he can us who's 'numbers' talent well.
Anyone familiar with actuary?

Definitely actuary. To get there, there are a bunch of tests to take and pass. But there's no grad school, and internships can lead straight to jobs.

just quoting from http://www.digitalactuarialres......html
"The first five exams from the Society of Actuaries are math-heavy. Besides calculus, they require advanced algebra, trigonometry, and detailed knowledge of functions. Math is definitely a prerequisite for the actuarial student. If you need to brush up on some or all of your math abilities, then this book is ideal for you
his book covers the following prerequisite math topics:
-Advanced Algebra
*Coordinate Systems
*Exponents
*Distribution and Factoring
*Factorials
*Functions
*One-To-One Functions and Inverses
*Polynomials
*Continuity and Discontinuity
*Composite Functions
*Complex Numbers
*Logs and Exponents
*Roots
-Trigonometry
*Trig Functions and Their Inverses
*Unit Circle
*Morphing Trig Functions
*Solving Trig Equations
*Law of Cosines and Law of Sines
-Basic Linear Algebra
*Vectors and Matrices
*Matrix Operations
*Solving Systems of Linear Equations
-Differentiation
*Sequences and Series
*Limits, Including Infinite and Rational Functions
*Development of the Derivative
*Derivatives of...
- - Polynomials
- - Trig Functions
- - Logs
*Rules for Derivatives
*Chain Rule
*Implicit Differentiation
*Logarithmic Differentiation
*L'Hospital's Rule
*Extrema
*Rates of Change
*Approximating Functions with Polynomials
-Single Integration
*Riemann Sums
*Antiderivatives
*Indefinite Integrals
*Definite Integrals
*Integration by Parts
*Integration by Substitution
*Improper Integrals
*Partial Fraction Decomposition Integration
-Higher Order Calculus
*Partial Differentiation
*3D surfaces and quadrics
*Double Integrals"
That's a lot of math for someone who has only taken high school math.
Maybe start with one entry level calc course to see how much he enjoys it.

www.beanactuary.org/what/
Is there anyone in your circle who knows/is an actuary?
Then your husband can contact that person directly to really have a talk.
A full actuary does very nicely financially.
That is a long way down the road.

If you work in the private sector you are expected to continuously study to pass all tests. You can usually get a position with just passing the first test with a ba/aa degree. It's not just formula plug in numbers like accounting. As another mother posted lots and lots of math skills, classes, and formulas needed.

There isn't enough information here, "math" is really broad. Can you give specific examples of how he is a "math whiz"?
Is he planning to go to college? Most schools require several math and science courses and he can use those to explore his interests.

Architects also work with numbers. So do surveyors. And engineers of different types.

Often people who like math also like programming.
