[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some majors that make money (not teacher) for students who like math but don't like science? Student is very bright taking Precalc with trig honors in 9th grade. However, she is awkward (autistic and aloof) so maybe not a good fit for finance/business school. She loves to code but dislikes science so that rules our CS/engineering. Help with ideas please. [/quote]
She's probably already looking at a pure math major. See also data science.

If she loves to code, look at CS anyway. The posts above describe trade-offs between a BA in an arts & sciences program (requiring foreign lang) and BS in an engineering program (often requires chem and physics for science/engineering majors)

I would encourage you both to look around at major requirements. They do vary quite a bit from school to school. I feel confident that you can find a CS program that is suitable, with the caveat that very few college students love all their core course requirements. A semester or two of science major level chem and physics is not the end of the world and some schools may not even require that.[/quote]
