finance jobs for a math major?

hey all, I'm entering my third year of undergrad applied mathematics with a minor in economics. So far I worked the summer as a data analyst for my city and I realized I really like data and finance stuff, working with financial data was fun. My goal is to get a Nice paying finance job with a good work life balance. what would you recommend I look into for the long term.? I have projects in data analytics and Machine learning. I am also considering taking courses in stochastic processes, monte carlo methods, and i'm heavily considering a masters in applied statistics(comes with a financial engineering graduate diploma).

I'll be fr, I dont think I have a good enough gpa or school to go into Quant finance, so what are some others, I was considering risk management but from what I heard It's A dead end career and Hard to grow in.

appreciate any help!!

What masters is right for me

I am An applied mathematics major, I am entering my third year. I am interested in machine learning and data science. I have done some courses on udemy and coursera, and am going to take some courses that teach the math behind neural networks and classical machine learning models. I am heavily considering a masters. I have a few options. my uni offers applied mathematics, Pure mathematics, applied statistics, theoretical statistics, and Data science. I also have a backup plan where I go into risk management. I have a single internship right now and I am aiming for more internships to come. For overall employability what masters would you reccomend

extra: masters all come with a graduate diploma in financial engineering so thats a bonus

help me get internship ready

entering my third year of uni. I worked at a smallish company doing some very basic data work as an intern. I mostly just validated data using excel and updated some spreadsheets. Nothing crazy. I realized I really like working with data and I want to go further with it. I am aiming for an internship at a Bank working as a data analyst. I have basic exposure to SQL, PowerBI, and I would say I'm pretty ok with Python(numpy, pandas, scikit learn). I built a very basic data analysis project using pandas which i'm proud of, and I made a basic project using Machine learning, but for the banks they expect me to get good at SQL and PowerBI.

tl;dr: where should I go to properly get an indepth look at PowerBI, SQL, and excel.

Men, where does your value and worth reside, and how do I build confidence?

19(M), I have been questioning this and I've realized I live a "good' life I should be confident in. I work 2 jobs, am In STEM, building projects in machine learning for my future, I am an athlete(wrestling), But I feel like thats all there is to me. when talking to women(non friends or family) I am pretty awkward and always feel like they are out of my league, with my friends I am a doormat and let people walk all over me. I want to change, I want to become a better person(kinder, more generous, honest), but I want to do good from the bottom of my heart, not cuz im afraid to be rude.

enough about me, where does your value lie?, how are you confident when broke or fat or uneducated etc. How do I overcome this issue in my life and Genuinely improve myself mentally?. whats wrong with my mentality, and where can I start when it comes to improving it. Greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

help me develop a style(for someone who hates shooting, and loves greco bodylocks, judo footsweeps and head and arm throw).

how can I build this all into a wrestling style similar to that of islam machkachev(wrestles lots from over under and does a lot of trips and bodylock esque stuff)

I will wrestle my last 2 years of college(recreationally at uni club) before transitioning into judo
