Im not at all math savvy. In fact the opposite. I was having a conversation about math with a colleague and I realized that other than teaching i have no idea what someone with a math degree or a “Mathematician” actually does? Im curious now. Whats their day like? Who employs them?

Depends a lot on what you specialize in. Some work in math research, some work in IT, some work in financial analysis, or insurance risk calculations.
I’m an engineering researcher but in a very theorethical field so many of my colleagues studied math. We optimize differential equation systems to improve the control of industrial machines. Our work schedule is like 80% writing code to execute our math, 10% debating with each other over equations and 10% talking to “customers” about their goals and specifications.
