To those who graduated with a bachelors degree in mathematics. Were you able to find a job related to your field, and if so how did you do it? Did you like your undergraduate experience? And for those who went to graduate school, and graduated with a phd, what job if any do you work now?

Waste of time. You're going to suck dick for money anyways. Why delay that for four years when you can start right out of high school.

Your department/faculty of mathematics has research programs and groups. Go look at them, I can assure that the vast majority of them are applied or interdisciplinary.
Non-research companies don't give a shit if you did your thesis on hypercomplex manifolds or stochastic partial differential equations.
