Well it would be more of an applied mathematics rather than pure math. Pure math is a little abstract and I'm unsure if I want to pursue that. What I would be doing is financial mathematics. It would be helpful in my actuarial career.

Pursuing a PhD in Economics would help as well, obviously not as much. I just find economics fascinating! Not sure about what I could do to pay for it maybe become a TA or get some sort of assistantship for the program. That is my only worry at this point. I will be exhausting my GI bill later next year.
