I'm old. There were no PCs then, so the analytic stuff was useful. What I remember most about the pure math classes were proofs about whether or not something was solvable. But never anything about how one might actually solve anything. And far too much number theory. All too abstract for me.

Yeah, well I totally agree on that end. Proofs are almost never practical for anyone.

Number theory is also a huge bore
