Is a pure math major a waste of time?

<p>Bump up</p>

<p>If I want to become an actuary or something in finance like a quant what are some good places to go for undergrad(Other than the usual MIT/Caltech/Harvard etc…) and what majors/dualmajors/minors are recommended?</p>

<p>Is it best to major in applied math and minor in CS in this case or pure math? Or would I have to go to business school or something to be a quant?</p>
