DS had his finger hovering over the UCAS application submit button today to do Maths and something else when his Maths teacher said he thinks he'll find it boring! Apparently that isn't code for "not being good enough" (predicted A*) but Maths degrees are about proof and are abstract.
I'm pretty clueless on the subject but can anyone confirm this or offer advice? Are there ways round it - doing a maths degree that is more mathsy (pure/applied) and less abstract/reasoning, maybe with something else?
