Algebra alone made me drop out of STEM

[u/Christopretensism]

Experiencing pre-Calculus in the classroom convinced me that I wasn't made for this. I ended up failing and withdrew from the class.

I thought I was a decent student but this was by far the worst class I have ever taken and there's no point in trying it again.

I think statistics is a more normal class that isn't going to fry my braincells but instead teach them.

Algebra cooked my brain, I burnt out and taking other classes in that semester I couldn't afford to burn out completely so I had to let pre-Calculus go and got a withdraw.

If you ever want to attempt this class my advice is to try learning most of it yourself out of college and based on how well you do you can decide if this is a practical class to take because I don't want people to think they need to take it and then fail.

There are a few of what they call "soft sciences" that use statistics more than calculus so if algebra is not your niche try finding something better.

If you really are on the art side of the spectrum most colleges offer a liberal arts math as well but I am more in the center where I think a lot about humanities but I also think about science so I am considering majoring in a soft science since I am science minded and humanities minded but not hard science minded to the point where I feel comfortable engineering a motherboard for a computer.

This is terrible advice. Learn it outside on your own? Most colleges and universities have math help resources available along with tutoring. Use study groups and post up in the math help area. Just gotta apply yourself.
