Just another anecdote... when I passed Calc 225 my 1st semester my counselor informed me my math prerequisites were fulfilled(counting college prep in HS). She did not encourage me to consider pursuing further, just that I didn't need to take any more and focus on "business". Working PT/3rd shift & taking 19+ credits a semester I figured my path was paved in business so I took her advice...Until 2nd year, taking motherload of hard classes, I was informed she was incorrect & I had to take probability. I missed first the first week of class, assuming cakewalk, and never caught up. The dominoes fell from there, my GPA suffered & after 2 years of midnight merchandising I realized I did NOT want to work sales or anything remotely retail. After grad, I washed out of corp sales job & Merrill job in under 8 months. Went back to construction and the picture hasn't been especially rosy ever since. Cest la vie. TLDR: Take the maths for the sake of knowledge, even if you don't 'have to'. It can't hurt. |
