Absolutely! Many tend to give up on the math part too early, because they can't immediately see how it relates to real world applications. Sometimes you need to let your mind loose and dive deep into theory before starting to think of the applications. But in the end of the day you need to enjoy it for what it really is, not just because of the big pay off.

Good point. I'm studying Software Development and Business Management in year 12 this year, so hopefully that will give me an insight to which one I enjoy doing more. But I think the programming route seems the most exciting!
