<p>Well, you can actually combine your interest in history and math through studying econ. I know that isn’t the question at hand, but I just wanted to point out that you can study history and use econ as a framework for historical events (ex. 1792, 1848, 1937, 1980s) and then you can use math to create economic models based on your historical knowledge. Of course, this suggestion would be angled towards more applied math than pure math. I think the major advantage of this career path is economic modeling makes big money, and if you love money more than spending lots of years in school or around school, then this may be a good choice for you.</p>
