I'm tired of CS and the department at my school is garbage. I've always enjoyed mathematics with the caveat that I haven't done much proofs. From what I understand that's what most higher-level math is?

With a B.S. in mathematics could you do something else in graduate school?
How difficult is majoring in math anyway?
