Today's society is very realistic, so is finding a job. Most people will choose to study professional skills, so that they can find jobs in the future. So for mathematics, it is not a major, but a professional foundation. Although there are a wide range of employment options in the future, it is precisely because of this that many employers disdain this. This explains why few people choose it. At the same time, the mathematics major in the university is also a difficult course. Not many people have this ability, so they have been unpopular!
I think it is very wise to choose your favorite major! No matter what you choose, as long as you are interested in him, plus your efforts, one day you will get what you want in return. I have met many people who listened to their parents and didn't want to choose their major. Many people finally regretted doing some jobs they didn't like. As long as you choose your own path, there is no regret. First of all, you can choose your own path, which is a great progress compared with others. I suppose you took this step against great pressure? I believe that such people will not be untenable in the future, and there are very few people with such unique insights and courage!
You chose math, and you don't have to care about other people's eyes at all. It doesn't matter which one you study, learning math will be very helpful to you! This is not only intellectual, but also spiritual. Many people hesitate to listen to the teachings of their elders, and even choose with their background. First of all, such people's spiritual dependence leads to their slackness in seeking knowledge, and their dependence on people and things is not conducive to their future study and the growth of their own experience. Studying mathematics, objectively speaking, although under the same conditions, the employment is not as good as other oriented majors (attention is the same). However, it is often under such conditions and environment that people are more capable of promoting progress than professionals.
