The American Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) both have a list of career profiles of over one hundred working mathematicians. For Undergraduate Internet Mathematics Resources check out the following websites:

From the MAA

From the Math Forum at Drexel University

From the Mathematics Archives

Note that some of the links on these pages overlap. There are also student pages located on the Canadian Mathematics Society website.

There are many sites with job listings, some specifically for mathematicians. This can be useful for ideas about careers in mathematics and to see what is out there.

Math-Jobs.com lists jobs in various countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.

Monster.com is a general career network.

CareerOwl.ca is a Canadian site.

There are many other job posting sites on the web, such as
