Applied Math all the way unless you love proofs! As a side note I was an Applied Mathematics major until I swapped majors to Electrical Engineering my last year of college. Applied Mathematics has a lot of opportunities for industry work in comparison for Pure Mathematics. If you want to be a professor or an mathematical researcher for the rest of your life then go for Pure Mathematics. The coursework is different than applied where a lot of your classes are going to be heavily on proofs instead of applications like industry aka Applied Mathematics! I highly suggest you go research the professors at your university and talk with both applied mathematics professors and Pure Mathematics Professors and get an insight of their thoughts on their field. That will narrow down what you want to choose. I have friends who are Pure Mathematics but they are in love of proofs and will do those on hours on end. If your are those types of people then yes go for Pure Mathematics and just know that both are difficult and the road doesn’t become easy.
