Hey /sci/ thinking about becoming a math major/mathematician, etc. How hard is it? Should I go into applied or pure? Can you make a decent living off pure mathematics? Any advice would be great.

Go for math. I did it and I'm glad I did.

Maybe you should get into applied first, just in case anything happens, and then do pure PhD. Unless you're already rich.

Would going into applied be the equivalent of being a Statistician,logician,etc?

Do what you love. Do it well. The money will follow.
