Although general mathematics does not train specifically for a certain career. It shows to employers that one can think logically and critically. If one enjoys solving problems over writing than math is definitely for them.
It is because of a college advisor who suggested that I major in Math that I was hired right out of college for an agency in Washington, DC and began a 45 year career that has taken me around the world and given me a life's work that has been challenging and rewarding. If a person has the mind for it, I would highly recommend a major in Mathematics. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely choose this major. The cons are that it is a difficult major and the most people who major in in are studious with no time for fun. The pros are that there are many career avenues after college.
Take real analysis first to see some "real" math. A math major is about proofs, not computations. But if you are interested at all in problem solving, I would recommend looking into this major.
