My math prof told me he did his undergrad because he loved math. When he graduated, there were no jobs for undergrads, so he did his masters to see where he would end up. He found the same thing happened. No jobs for a masters of math. He did his Phd and some postdoc work for starvation wages.
He became a professor at my Uni and despite still loving math, was the biggest proponent of students not pursuing pure math degrees. " It should only be pursued in small doses in pursuit of other fields, except in the case of the independently wealthy."
