Should you go for a Mathematics Degree or Secondary Education in Math if your interest is in math?

Do not major in secondary education unless you feel that your calling is to become a high school math teacher.
For any other field, get a degree in mathematics or some related area that suits your interests or future job possibilities (engineering, mathematical finance, physics, applied math, etc.).
The math requirements for a math major are usually higher than those for an education major. Of course, you can take more than the required minimum number of courses, but potential employers will assume that you took just the minimum required for an education major. If you want to go into some field other than teaching that requires a math major, the secondary education major will be a handicap.
And if you have no interest in becoming a high school teacher, you can use the time you would have spent taking education theory courses and practicums to study a field where you could apply math, like finance or physics.
Just to clarify: There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a math teacher. That is a very noble profession. But if that is not the profession you have chosen, you shouldn't major in secondary education.
