I’m planning on majoring in mathematics or statistics. Which has better career prospects/more options? I’m leaning towards statistics because I think it would be somewhat easier, and I like applied math more than theoretical concepts. But, I think that the math major has less unfulfilled requirements for me at the present moment. However, it really would come down to which has better career prospects and which I think I would enjoy more.
What I think I ultimately want to do is work on the math side of research/clinical trials, especially those dealing with neuroscience. My school doesn’t offer a neuroscience degree, but it does have psychology. Would it be worth double majoring with psychology or would the double major just be a waste of time/money? I would probably ultimately plan on getting a masters in biostatistics unless I ended up landing a job and just deciding not to get the extra schooling.
