Applied mathematics was my second choice for university. I wanted to study statistics or computer science, sadly the computer science faculty is two hours from my house, and as a student living alone (and far from my family), it seems impossible for me to meet my basic needs, eat, and try to sleep when i'll only have like 3 hours free a day.
On the other hand, the physics and mathematics faculty is 15 minutes from my house (i'm scared to get into it because i don't feel smart enough ngl, but it's like my only option).
BUT before choosing i want to know if it's economically sustainable, I've heard some people say that in statistics you live in the shadow of the actuaries and in research in the shadow of pure mathematicians.
Other people say the job market is broad, so i'm really confused and i wanted to heard about some experiences
