If you ever get to touch machine learning, that's all about linear algebra, sparse methods, numerical methods, calculus in many dimensions (e.g. gradient descent). Any kinds of image or signal processing, and you run into your old friend Fourier Transform, which is, again, analysis, linear algebra, complex numbers. In my previous job, I got to have fun computing an orthonormal basis of polynomials on a disk, and doing some linear algebra with that (although to be fair, fields like computational lithography are probably more math-heavy than others). The amount of programming jobs where math would be directly applicable is on the rise. That's not why I studied mathematics. I do it because it is an art[1][2], and because I can. But it certainly comes with certain benefits in the workplace.
