How do I decide whether or not to switch to math in university?

If you don't want to spend your whole life on it and aren't a genius, don't(unless you don't care about being poor, then I would do it)

Then you'd better be good at math.

Do you go to and Ivy league school or Oxbridge? Are you the smartest person in your college class, and by a large margin? Have you been doing math for fun since a young age? If the answer isn't yes, then you're wasting your time.

Thought you didn't have to be a genius to do math,I don't have aspirations to make some huge great discovery just to work in a niche and do research

Well, you're wrong. What do you think the ratio of math PhD. graduates to faculty position is? Go ahead, take a guess.

Now go look up the real figure.

Just read the report. Basically, if you're interested in doing a career in academia you need to be a genius. If you would feel comfortable doing statistical modeling or government work, the picture is a bit better, but in any case you're going to be competing against some very very smart people and basically you can't half-ass it at all.

Hmm yeah if I couldn't pull off an associate prof position then I'd be able to live with being a prof at a liberal arts college (is that viable?) or doing govt/industry work

Double major/double honours physics and mathematics. Do it.
