Go to HVAC school, and start making a lot of money the day you graduate.

The problem with math is you have no idea how to apply it. When has anybody said hey someone help - get a mathematician.The problem with CS is everyone wants to do it. Recently some have become scared of AI and went into medical.

The problem with CS, is the management of CS employees is via agile. Which is absolutely stupid.

So there is no good major, and you have to be top of whatever you are. You have to look at what do you really enjoy and how much do you have to spend to get an ROI.

Try writing up fake resumes, one for CS, one for math. What do you get a response on?

Spend some hours and try to figure out how you could find mentors and create a business, maybe check the town or employment office and see if they have advice. Trading math or code for cash may not be how you want to spend your time.

If you had all the money you needed already, what would you some your time doing? Imagine yourself ten times as weak and ugly. That's you older, think of what you would miss out on and do that now.

If you are broke and need money to impress woman, and all you've got is math or CS, then CS is easier to find a job. If you want math and a job maybe EE, but that is not as easy to find employment than CS.

Working for someone else always sucks.

Did you ever have a conversation with a person who doesn't understand anything you're talking about? That's what knowing math or tech is like, like being surrounded by morons that don't know or care about what you could discuss.

Math

But, if you want a career in tech, is college important?

You should get up off your ass, stop being a lazy fuck and learn to build or fix something.

What do you do with a math bachelors?

You get a math masters

If you do either one, odds are you'll end up living the life of an employee. Start some businesses and get your fails out of the way while you're young. After you have some successes, you'll want to end up with multiple streams of income for the greatest resiliency.

But if you're dumb and lazy, just train to be a wage slave and sell the use of your mind and body to someone who's more successful.

Major in CS and minor in math. There will be alot of overlap.

OP, do you want to be a mathematician? Do you want to be a computer scientist? If the answer to either of those questions is YES then your choice for schooling is obvious.

If however your answer to both questions is NO then you are asking the wrong question.

if you go to a real school and enroll in a decent math program, you could take just a few extra courses and get a minor in computer science (or vice-versa).
in reality, if you get either degree, you would probably end up in the same position anyway, as they translate quite well and most decent paying jobs are in STEM fields. If you are really good at math, do an EE degree and focus on analog ASIC design.

Go get a job at an inner city gas station for 6 months. Then decide.

Yes

The issue as I see it, is, will these disciplines still matter in the future where AI will be doing all of the heavy-lifting...

At some point, AI will be creating code and applications, etc...

The other side of that coin, is that you don't want to get caught with your pants down, if AI ends up being a flash in the pan, and we find ourselves going back to the "old" ways of ciphering and coding.

If my advice were worth anything more than the electrons that get it to you, I'd say go dual major if you can, Math/Computer (or visa-versa). If this is not the path you want to follow, then I would Major in one, and get a minor in the other.

Hope that this helps.
