Is going to college for mathematics even worth it?

Is going to college for mathematics even worth it?
Is there even any jobs that you can get hired at that pay a good salary?

statistician, also called "data scientist"

it all depends user.
Do you want to be a teacher? The short answer is that math teachers make shit money unless they're at a big college/uni, which means you need a phd and tenure.

Do you want to bust your ass? Then it can pay off bigger with less school. A math degree makes any other scientific degree you get look awesome because they almost universally synergize well. Alternatively, you could get "just" a math degree, and during school bust your ass using math and a programming language (Python, Matlab, R, Haskell, FORTRAN) to model shit like waves or food cooking or whatever. Keep your work in a blog or github. Employers will see you git gud and want to hire you.

Even if you don't get both degrees at the same time, having both will look very good.

The last option is to get a degree, then get a job, like a clerk, at an engineering company of some kind. Your managers will be highly interested when they learn you have a math degree.

Obligatory image.

Anyways, if you are even asking this question then just don't. Don't get a degree in math. What gives it so much value is the fact that for every math grad there are 20 engineers, 5 physicists, 5000 biologists, 10 chemists and 200 computer scientists.

Don't devalue my degree with your lower IQ.

Accountants and consultants make bank for low level math skills but little room improvement. Otherwise cyber security or the rat race of getting funding to do research.

I just switched from CS to applied math. Best decision in my life.

Go into Applied Math. Don't fall for the Pure Math meme. Shit is fucking useless.

You can become a statistician, an Acturary, or do basic physics/engineering if you take more physics/engineering classes. You can also go into finance.

I'm planning on becoming a Quant or an Acturary.

Really? Could you elaborate?

stfu the research done in pure math just doesn't have a use yet physicists and engineers will apply it one day!

The classes are more enjoyable for me and you can easily get a CS job without a CS degree if you self-teach and make a GitHub/blog but you can't really do that with math.
