My parents are literally threatening me to kick me out of I don't quit my job at Wawa and go back to school to pursue an civil engineering degree and follow my father's footsteps.

How the fuck do I even do that? I'm 29 and never even learned basic algebra, and haven't touched a math book in a decade. I'm so fucked.

civil engineering doesn't require as much math as other disciplines, you can get Ds in all your classes and just not put your gpa on your resume. then get a job as a construction manager and you'll never do math again.

Don't do civil engineering, you have to do really advanced math and stuff, take accounting or something business related. The math they make you do is much simpler.

Almost every single engineering degree will force you to take extremely advanced classes.

Maybe try civil engineering. It only requires half the math as other fields and you might only have to do it sometimes.

anon he hates math, if he does that he'll have to do math the rest of his life. theres a lot of odd jobs you can get with a civil engineering degree that are piss easy.

Anon it's not about the end goal, it's actaully getting the degree. You think anon would be able to pass 3 rounds of calculus? Hell no.

First of all to even be able to do that shit, you need a solid Analysis foundation, and if he didn't learn algebra, he will fail out and waste his parents money.

The math you do for economics shit is easier than piss.

Yeahh anon, your best bet is to just do civil engineering or becoming an electrician or sum

how did you let yourself get to this point
at your age I am already married with a kid and another on the way, own my own home, and make $400K a year and almost all my peers are doing similarly well (well maybe not making as much money but at least married with a kid or in an LTR)

Tell them that if they make you homeless that you will burn the home down while they sleep and then kill yourself.

go into a less math intensive, adjacent major instead so you can meet your parents in the middle. (if they're even that understanding)

You might have been an ugly beta faggot physically, but this is where the intellectual chads are born, do you want to be a sissy little tranny faggot intellectually too? because if you don't, then you must get an engineering degree, anything other than that and you're wasting you're time and you're the tranny faggot of the academic world. Only high iq intellectual chads make it in the engineering field, this is the time to redeem yourself.

I would join the military if I were some retarded loser like you. Preferably to be a pilot in any of the branches

My ex is an environmental engineer. She said organic chemistry was the only part she had trouble with, but she could do calculus in her head, so...

Are they going to pay for it? I'd take that deal: School is fucking easy

Yeah I'm an accountant and while we deal with a lot of numbers, there isn't much math. There aren't many formulas more complicated than a weighted average. It's mostly just adding and subtracting.
