Careers for bright DS

DS is starting to think about what career he'd like in the future. He's very bright, on target for 9s in all GCSEs. He's particularly good at maths. He would like a job that:
Uses his maths skills
Isn't too monotonous
He's a big people person and wouldn't want to be locked away doing accounts for example
Make a shit tonne of money 😆

Suggestions welcome!

Not quite. They use AI/algorithms to do trading but trading is a highly regulated activity so still requires humans. As a career, you can build algorithms, or do trading related sales, or do the compliance function. Trading teams are still big and will continue to have lots of human roles.

I hope you’re correct!

MoD apprenticeship. Good pay whilst learning and a guaranteed job at the end of the degree. Not military but more like engineering or weapons systems.

An economics degree. Will open lots of doors in industry, consulting or government.
