Need assistance with obtaining a degree of Information Technology I.T! - PythonRaze - 08-21-2020
Hello guys, i just wanted to ask a few questions and wanted to know opinions, I'm am attempting to obtain a degree or diploma in I.T Or computer engineering (i heard they were the same thing).) after asking a good friend of mine he said you NEED to be skilled in Algebra Trigonometry and quadratics, (Maths A B C) To be able to complete courses for I.T to be honest i'm wanted to go for a career i love and am passionate in but i'm not the brightest in maths, very shitty to be precise. i wanted to know if this is the same for anyone who tried to get a degree for I.T and what the requirements are also i would love to hear any advice that can help me move forward. ]
Should i choose this career?
Is it profitable?
How hard is it to get the certificates?
And any general advice!

All of this is true.
If you're concerned your maths isn't up to standard, get a tutor. I suspect that degree is highly transferable for many careers. However, you asked if it is a career you should choose - yet you mentioned a degree, not a career. What specific jobs would you like to do? The answer to that question, will answer all your other questions.
If you're unsure of career ideas, try doing a job search. See what comes up and what kind of qualifications they want.
For general advice: It's ok to change your mind. There is such a thing as transferring. Don't be afraid to make a mistake. Also, if you have access to a careers advisor - SPEAK TO THEM. This is exactly what they're for.
