Getting uninformed advice from posters on the internet gives you exactly what you pay for.
What you should do is talk to someone in career counseling who can access you personally and make recommendations as to your next step. This is a time consuming process that will require some real work on your part well beyond asking random internet posters for their opinions. Good luck.
Absolutely correct! And my opinion is also just that, an opinion... Talk to somebody who actually knows something!
First you make the big split - technician versus engineer. The difference is HUGE! I know, when you see the engineers walking down the hall it is hard to imagine what they went through to get there. Today it is about 5 years just for a BSEE degree and another year or two for the MSEE. And every bit of it involved math. Lots and lots of math.
Math is how we describe the universe.
In a typical degree program, the very first math class is Calculus I and there is no chance in the world of passing the course unless you are really on top of algebra, geometry and trigonometry. There is a year long course called Pre-Calc just to built up skills that were normally missed in high school. Although this course is long and arduous, it doesn't build up credit hours for the degree program.
I don't know anything about your education system (talk to somebody who knows something!) but around here if you go to a community college there will be an assessment test to show where you stand in things like English and Math. Unless you are a recent HS grad at the AP level, you will be placed in Pre-Calc. Now your 5 year degree will be closer to 6. The counselors here will print a road map to get you through the AS degree with the proper courses for transferring to the state colleges or universities for the last 2+ years.
The community college will usually only go up through the Associate degree with the Bachelor degree coming from state colleges or universities.
Technician requirements will be more on the practical side of things. Math won't be nearly as important. But the job won't pay as well either. Basically, there is some relationship between math skills and salary. I don't know anything about the requirements for technicians.
John B mentioned above taking a year to get up to speed on math. That's what we call Pre-Calc! You would have to be an exceptional high school student to be capable of taking Calc I right out of the gate. Unfortunately, our high schools just aren't that good. Pre-Calc isn't a cake walk either.
There's a running no-joke that Calculus isn't hard, it's the Pre-Calc that will kill you. As I help my grandson with his Calculus homework, we joke about that every time we mess up the algebra. It's the simple stuff that bites you in the butt.
