I'll answer this question with the same answer I have given before to questions like this.
I don't care what someones degree is in or how much of a job demand there is for what they study. If you don't have any actual work experence, have a piece of paper and knowing someone will get your foot in the door but you have others willing to put up with your inability to perform well at your job, you're not going to last very long.
With that being said, I would focus less of trying to get the right kind of major you want to graduate with and gain more real work experence revelent to what you are studying now. They're a world of oppetunties for those who are very good in math but you don't need to have a PhD in math in order to take advatange of. Of course you do need to take up a major of course that is math intense in order to have a chance later in working in such a field. Example, if you want to work as a Pharmacist you don't need a PhD in Math. But you do need to have a solid foundation in Calculus math, and other sciences that are math intense like Chemestry(Organic and InOrganic), Biology, Physics, Microbiology. In addition to the studies, work at a pharmacy either as a volunteer or as a pharmacy tech so you stand out among the competetion not only towards getting into pharmacy school but also when it comes time to work as an actual pharmacist. Even if becoming a pharmacist isn't your thing, with what I did share with you should give you an idea of what to do so later on after you are done with college you can land into the right career that will be rewarding in the long run.
