Pure math major vs financial math major?

I am currently a pure math major, but my advisor told me that I should consider switching my major to financial math. The reason he said this is because I am interested in actuary work and he said it might be a better major for the type of career I want to pursue. However, I personally do not want to switch my major. The reason is because I am interested in taking some of the more theoretical math classes, and I would not get to take any of those if I switched to financial math.
