<p>My top goal is to get a Ph.D in pure math (but that could change to applied). Tech doesn't even offer a regular (pure math) degree, so I'll have to major in applied. However, if I didn't get into grad school, I wouldn't want to be stuck with the applied math bachelors which is why I feel like I might be missing a huge opportunity by not majoring in CS. </p>
<p>CS degrees have better job opportunities with just a bachelors. Pay scale says that applied mathematics makes more but the writing on the wall seems to be that only the guys with Ph.D's are making that. </p>
<p>So another option is double majoring and the two majors seem to have a lot of overlap. I've heard of people doing it and I've heard of one guy who's finishing in four years. The problem with this is that I don't know how much time I'd have for research which is the most important thing although Gautum Goel seems to have been able to do it (look him up; I'm on mobile). So yeah... Any insight?</p>
