I certainly wouldn't give up your goal based on a few message board posts. While the market for professors is tough, and probably won't change anytime soon, it isn't impossible. If you are a great student, get research experience, and are admitted to a good graduate program, your chances are as good as anyone. The current market is just as tough in numerous fields. I think a point we were trying to make was that you have to be flexible and be able to adapt to new environments. Also, a Ph.D in math would likely prepare you for careers outside academia.
