What job I should be looking for if I have a math degree but want to get into finance and how do I transit so I could slowly get into finance later on and still use my math degree?

I think you should get started as a data analyst / actuarial analyst somewhere remote in Nebraska - possibly a corn business or the like. That way you still use your math degree. In the meantime, you do your CFA levels 1, 2, and 3. Then once you pass CFA Level 3 and have that Nebraska experience, you can get into Berkshire Hathaway. 

Just hope Buffet still lives as long, otherwise plan may backfire.
