Strongly disagree. I have a bachelor’s in math and have found it quite versatile.

Can't find the source now but within the past several years "mathematician" was ranked as the number one field in American by U.S. News and World Report.

Yes that was exactly my point.
With a math degree, you can get a job working for an accounting firm. Not as an accountant. Not as a cpa. Just a BA with a major in math. And most of what you spend your time doing will be math.
As far as an accountant not being heavy in math, sub-specialties would be more so, such as forensic accounting, fiduciary accounting, etc.

Open a fancy paper goods store!  I
I know a woman with a math degree who owns and runs a party store in her garage.
Oh. And she teaches math at a Jewish college, and maybe HS too

Does. I have a BS in math and I'm doing something in the field at the moment, but for practical reasons I may need to explore other options in the field.
I'd love to do programming or data science, but I'm open to exploring different options.
