Looking at it from my BBA/MBA point of view, and subbing in business math / decision making instead of calculus for #1
I'd go with #1.
Assuming you studied Math because you like it, why not? Plus, optimizing other people's code? That's like constantly shitting on other people with your superiorness. Who doesn't want to do that?!!? haha.
#2 is just an incessant pain in the ass (it's what I'm trying to do more of). Every week there's some new framework or 'technology' [1] that's you're expected to know or forced to use because someone thinks it's hot shit even when it isn't.
[1] talking with Kohana PHP framework guys the other day, someone was all excited that it's going to be HMVC (Hierarchical Model-View-Controller) in the next version. Which involved someone going, "that's great, it got introduced to JAVA 8 years ago." And someone else going "Whoopty do, they just rebranded 15 year old PAC and called it their own." Not to mention the incessant JQuery vs Prototype / JQuery UI vs Scriptaculous debates. Fuck I hate my job.
