I would like to pursue something abstract that makes me look smart in family reunions.
I thought about switching to pure math.
Thoughts?

Just keep in mind that you have to actually be smart for pure math.

If your aim is to impress strangers you're 100 times better off becoming a medical doctor or even an engineer or lawyer.
Most people think math/science students are sort of spergy and entirely unemployable.

For example for Thanksgiving I discussed Descartes famous idea of "I think, therefore I am" to my relatives. They were very much impressed and were glad they finally grasped its meaning. I understand that this guy Euclid did something similar but for mathematics.

Keep in mind that Descartes was a mathematician and a huge influence on modern-day mathematics. The Cartesian plane is named after him.

they are similar enough that if you hate one, you are probably going to hate the other.

Not necessarily true, I love philosophy but grew out of liking pure math didn't satisfy me at all. I think the activity is different enough from philosophy to not warrant a correlation between liking the two. The thing they have most in common is that they can boggle your mind to reach an answer.

Being smart is not based off of how much you know, but rather it is a mindset.

The only thing that I'm worried about is job prospects.
Whereas a philosophy degree is inherently multidisciplinary and has been dubbed "the ultimate transferable work skill", pure math seems very narrow and there doesn't seem to be any job prospects outside of academia.
