If you want to go to business school, medical school, law school, engineering school, get a masters in psychology, biology, international government, aviation management, or just about anything else, an undergraduate degree in mathematics will meet the requirements. If I had to go back an do college again, I would get my degree in mathematics.

Along those lines, I did look into getting a second bachelors in mathematics a few years ago, and Chadron State College in Nebraska (a regionally accredited brick and mortar school that is part of the University of Nebraska system) was offering a distance learning bachelors in mathematics for around $6,000 per year, flat rate, regardless of residency status.
Yup, math can open a lot of doors. Physics is another one, lots of math plus you get to relate math to the real world (and the surreal world).
