So I'm still doing some soul searching with finding a major. Currently I enjoy physics and math. However, while I'm good at the mathematical side of physics, conceptually I'm pretty frustratingly slow at it. Often I make the mistake of jumping right into the math without considering the actual physics of a problem. I am new at physics though, versus math where I'm not new at.
With background out of the way, here's the question. I've heard that doing a pure math degree is a bad idea - that those who major in pure math experience difficulty in finding a job and, when they do, don't make much money. Is that true? Should I avoid a pure math route?
