/sci/ - Science & Math

Can someone give me some career advice? I'm just about done with my lower level requirements for a math major, so I have to start making some hard and fast decisions between which upper level classes to take, primarily between the three categories of pure, applied and statistics. I look at it as follows:

>Pure
The most interesting and purdy math, but almost demands a PhD for real usefulness and a return on investment.

>Applied
Probably rather employable, and perhaps useful as a BS as well.

>Statistics
I'm very much into probability and statistics and am learning towards this, despite being interested in what is taught in the pure (and applied, to a lesser extent) math curriculum. I feel it is the most employable as a BS, and may have the easiest entry into PhD due to the sheer industry demand for it.


The caveat here is that I have an absolutely horrible transcript (fortunately not in my math classes, but have accumulated a total of 6 F's), However, on the upside, I've been pulling straights A's more recently and if I continue to do so will graduate with a 3.8+, thanks to classes retake not counting. All of the F's have been at community college, with my Uni transcript so far being impeccable. Pls no bully.

Is there any hope for a PhD? If so, what would you recommend? It took me some time to realize all I wanna do is research.
