To major in math or not to major in math

<p>Do you really know what a math major is like? </p>

<p>In high school, they give you a problem, you set up an integral expression, solve and put a box around your answer. As a math major, you wouldn’t be engaging in such work; instead, you’d be trying to prove rather pointless things such as “prove the sum of a rational and irrational number is irrational.” And while some may find this math orgasmic, the truth is many, including this self-professed math lover, don’t. </p>

<p>So with this in mind, reasses your goals…do you REALLY want to become a math major or do you instead want to apply your math knowledge? If the latter is true, then think about a major in engineering, physics, statistics or economics.</p>
