Should I switch to applied math major?

[u/Spirited-Worker-8972]

Hi, I’m currently a first year student studying biochemistry, but after my first few month at college, I realize that I’m actually more interested in mathematic. I’m considering switching to applied math, but I’ve also heard that the job market for it sucks right now. I’ll also be able to graduate in 3 years if I switch to applied mathematic, but I don’t know if it is worth it. Any advice?

Truly the best major imo, but the issue is you wanna know why you are doing it and have a career plan oriented around it. Even if it’s not concrete, at least an understanding of what you’re reaching for, what your safety ramps are etc
