As someone who did an undergrad degree in Mathematics, I can tell you that you're not really doing any worse than math. Is there really some undergrad level math barrier to understanding Einstein's theory of relativity? I don't know if you'd be able to contribute to computation psychiatry with a math degree either. You'll have a hard time getting into any heavy-cs field with just a math undergrad. You might learn some skills and ways to think mathematically but it's not gonna help you in the real world - lol. After all, my math college counselors would ask me, "Ok, so, what do you want to do with your math degree? Grad school or actuary?" (And those were the only options they presented) Most of my time in undergrad was spent memorizing theorems. Probably not much different than neuroscience. It's really no different than many classes. A lot of bullshit memorization because you need to remember a bunch of one-off shit to solve a lot of problems. Theorems are the jeopardy trivia of math degrees. You know how psychological thriller movies have subtle hints through them that things are not what they seem? It's like, you'd be able to guess what's gonna happen next if you picked up on that super subtle clue 2 hours ago. Most math exams and homework are that. Hope you remember that stupid theorem from 15 chapters ago that was subtly referenced and never mentioned again! > Now consider an alternative path, I majored in mathematics, joined a quantitative hedge fund Very unlikely unless ivy league, strong connections, and were working hard outside of your math classes. Job prospects for math majors are grim. You don't learn employable skills in many math degrees. (Speaking mostly of undergrad degrees)
