What can i do?

im in Uni right now doing a maths course, i don't really like it, its not for me. I want to drop out, but im not sure where i could go and what i would do after that.
Any life tips?
Thanks
You could:

1) Get a job and either not go to university, or maybe go in a few years time.
2) Get a job and re-apply for next year.
3) Get a job and do some new qualifications with a view to applying for some other course that might interest you.

Is the course too pure?

Try and start a new course next year but try and complete this year otherwise it will look like a waste, do as much as you can :smile:

my advice assuming you did physics, to look for engineering courses, or mathematical physics.
Pure can be hard for some ... it was for me ...
Luckily I had choices for 1/2 of my degree and I did not pick a single pure course from the options.

yeah was compulsory for me, and some more pure stuff next year, but there are more modules i can choose, given that i can actually pass this year
