My advice for most people would be to do something broader, and a Mathematics degree is a good foundation. But not everyone is up to doing Math at university level. So you have to ask yourself if your IQ and diligence is up to the task - at the ripe age of 32.

Analytics and Big Data stuff - I don't know. They may be hot for a while and then go the way of Media Studies and other fancy courses.

Finance is pretty much bread and butter these days so I would think it is good match for you.
