I'm stuck in my math major, what should I do?
First I'll share some quick background. Currently, I'm a third-year undergrad at University and I initially declared a math major. I enjoyed calculus and all the computational math classes I have taken so far. Still, now I'm taking the more theoretical abstract math and I find that not only do I not enjoy it but I really struggle through it. At first, I was considering an actuarial career, I even interviewed with some companies and was working on passing my first exam, but I quickly became burned out and found that I wasn't enjoying that either. I love accounting as I'm taking Financial Accounting this semester which would have been a part of my Actuarial Science minor. What's unfortunate however is I really can't switch out of my math major, my uni's policies make it impossible. I already have 96 credits because I obtained a bunch in high school (which are irrelevant to my degree) and this makes the idea of transferring kinda hard as well. I would still need to take 8 more math classes to finish my degree, and I'm scared of that idea. I'm assuming becoming an accountant is still possible if I do a minor and then do a Macc afterward, so is this likely the best thing possible for me at the moment? Are there other jobs for math majors that could potentially suit me? I'm okay with coding, it's not my favorite but I like SQL. Any advice from someone who had to stick out a degree they didn't really love? Thank you in advance.
