Thank you. This is exactly what I wanted to hear. I’m more interested in studying math than maximizing my income, but post-graduation opportunities is a concern, since I’m not well off. Your reply gives me the encouragement I was looking for to pursue my passion. Thank you.

To add to the discussion. I did a CS PhD with a statistical bent. It's served me well. However, I would see if an MS provided you with equivalent benefits from a career standpoint. Very few companies do "research". And if you're in the US, unless you acquire funding with yourself as the PI its going to be impossible to find an academic position.
