I tell students that even if they don't like math right now they can use math as a brain-sharpening tool - a tool that not only builds the foundation for a great career but that also builds self-confidence no matter what they choose to do with their lives.
As the time goes by you change your learn new things your attitude is different. For the moment I'm still enjoying ski racing so much that it would be difficult for me to think about ending my career.
