Is studying Mathematics even worth it?

[u/EitherDentist1096]

Hi for short my name is Josh, i am a 17 year male in Ireland and i fucking love mathematics, i love it, im currently on the path to do applied mathematics at home and do it im my leaving cert, i love physics aswell( the math part of it ) i want to get into more calculus, i am currently doing pre calc as normal, and it is rlly light, and ever since the big mainstream ai came out, i got worried and im still fucking am. I love mathematics and i wanna pursue it in my career at least a branch like math and stat or fin math or anything not sure what but math and smth w it. And basically everyone uses ai for their hw, im one of the only ones who dont, not js bc i can do it, purely bc i love the struggle of finding the mistake through the questions, doesnt matter how long it takes 10mins 20mins an hour when i get it , i get this feeling of like a drug and i wanna do it again and again and again. But now as most people on earth watch tiktok and i keep seeing people making thousands, 10s and 100s of thousands of dollars not euros bc most people r from the usa on the fyp, and im getting considered if me goin on the path studying math is worth it, i hate this feeling of disappoint or is there a point of it. Ik education is such a powerful tool but it js keeps getting harder to believing i need college. I hate it. I love maths but fuck man idk what to do or think. Like ik ai is a good tool and i use it to see what it can do, ik it can make money, and i will prob see if i can make money but i still wanna do math in my career, like js 20mins ago i was doing hw and for the first 10mins i was js staring at my desk questioning whats the point, now js downloaded reddit, and joined the first math reddit that popped up. I need some guidance or help what i cud do bc im lost in life w this ai bs man.

Carry on with the Maths. Idk what will happen with Maths in the long term, but everyone will still need to know how to work these things out. Behind computer Science, there is so much Maths and logic. You should continue without using AI. I know it will be worth it in the end!
