Study this only if you have natural talent and love working with abstract concepts. Not worth picking math to try and be "flexible" as all you learn is theory, nothing applicable in any industries. Having math on your resume will tank your GPA, and if you aren't absolutely certain you want to go into quant or ML/AI, it will tank your competitiveness in other roles as well.

Math is hard, but if your lucky and able to handle it. It will be easy and enjoyable. But it do requires some kind of talent. If you don't like math before, I definately don't recommend math major. Also, the career choice is limited.
