Why is it so hard to find a job with a math phd? There are only 200,000 of us in the world?

your local high school is probably hiring math teachers

Maybe because your Degree is on the same level as toilet paper? "Doctor of philosophy" says everything. American Education is a joke, you pay 30.000 Bucks just to waste 1-1.5 years on "Precalculus"

If you can't find a job with a math PhD you were never going to find a job in general. Not even the clown wants you.

your thesis got approved, so you know how to work a research job. just apply to a university or college for that, it's basically what you did until now. Sometimes this helps you land a teaching job as well.
I don't know what kind of math you were doing, but cryptography needs more complicated math than a cs brainlet like me would understand. elliptical curve cryptography, for example, maybe look into that, if you enjoy it.
basically google "fields that require [the field of mathematics your thesis, or your favorite uni project was in]" and start scrolling.

if you're american, consider moving to a country that hasn't cut research funds, maybe some countries even try to paperclip people with phds, there might be money in it for you. they don't have to know that you have no plans for your future yet.

This is.why i ultimately decided not to get a math phd. I got my masters and thought I should do a phd and I got into some decent top 20 schools, but ultimately I decided not to pursue because no matter how much I love math I don't feel like living 1500 miles away from my parents and friends grinding so l can work a thankless adjunct job so I can have a glimmer of hope I might get selected to tenure track. Even if I could, I do not think I'd want it at this point; academia is really for midwits anyway at this point, there are autists in their mom's basement who would blow these profs out of the water If they actually gave them a chance. Im still unemployed but I probably would be with a math phd anyway.

Do not fucking listen to this. However fucked you think the American job market is it is infinitely better than what you will ever get elsewhere with a PhD.
