What're the occupational differences between pure and applied mathematics?

I'm not so much asking about or for examples of jobs that use pure or applied mathematics as I am asking about the work environment of pure and applied mathematics. What's the work like in both? What's similar and what's different?

What sort of tasks does a mathematician commonly do in their job?

While I know the image of "people in suits crunching numbers" is wholly false, I'm not actually all that sure about what mathematicians (whether they're studying topology, physics, or any branch beyond) commonly do as a part of their occupation. Is it more akin to individual work or research in...

I am currently in a DNP program but there are masters program that take less time to complete and you can still work as a nurse practitioner. Is the extra school to get the doctorate worth it? #DNP #FNP

How do you know if you've hit your "moment?"

Being indecisive really complicates the college search. I'm always afraid that my "moment" of realization will miss me. What if I never realize what I want to do? What if there are other people who have missed their boat? These are honestly the biggest stresses for me as I'm hitting the end of...

How much writing and reading are expected?

Sometimes you can't understand what you're reading unless you break it down to annotate, and annotating takes long itself to do. Do all subjects require to do that as well?

How can you manage your time in college?

I'm asking this because college can take up a lot of your personal time. Like will there be a lot of homework everyday for every subject? There will be deadlines around the same time so what can you do to turn it in on time.

I have been accepted to many universities for Mathematics Education, but I don't have enough money to attend most of them.

I am looking for as many additional scholarships to assist with my college expenses.
