Hello /adv. First time posting here. So I'm in first year electrical engineering. Failing my math exams but not worried because I can accumulate enough credits to pass year. The problem is that I only like the electrical engineering course which makes me study with pleasure for it. I can retake my math exams at the end of month they aren't even that hard but I feel that I can't study or learn anymore things I don't like or enjoy. I simply cannot concentrate and the shit just won't stay in my head. I already bought a Java and web design courses from udemy with their new year sale and thinking of going through them during 2nd semester then dropping out if the school situation gets worse. I know basic C++ from highschool and am thinking of going as disciple at software company where my highschool class went on a visiting tour in my town. What do you think?

I don't know much about those classes. But what I will say, pursue what you want. Fuck everything else, go for what you want. Girls, booze, partying, all of that shit can wait. Focus on your dream

I dont clearly undersand the question, but i'm an EE so i'll try to chip in..
if it is that you don't like math but like circuits/design/lab-work/coding etc, always make a strong effort to ask how does this math relate to a real world examples. for example, imagine you solve a complex design problem and the answer is... idk, R = 1k. Great, but what does that mean? What would happen if it was lower/higher. What causes it to be such range? Could you change something else in the problem to allow R to be different?
Thinking about how these complex ideas can apply to the real world is what got me through.

Well my dream would be to have a good paying job/business so I could afford racing/drifting as a hobby. But the fucking college is fucking everything up. I'm from Eastern Europe was thinking of working shit jobs in USA or whatever then come back with money so I can afford a living and not be a burden to my parents while I can concentrate on learning a good paying skill such as a programmer or learning languages. I came up with some ideas of apps but I don't know how to do them. I still can't think of a business idea that I would enjoy or would work but I'm constantly thinking. I don't think it's necessary to work outside of my country because my family loves me and I love them and would support my decisions but I hate being away to college and eating away their money while I'm doing fuckall for my life.

I get what you are saying. That's exactly the thing with programming and math. Yes you need math but I don't need ultra fucking complex calculus and linear algebra or whatever to do some simple sine functions or some matrix algorithms in case of programming. I fucking hate math because it's a lot of useless crap. I never used more than 11th grade math in anything.

Oh, then you don't have a problem. Next semester, Take electromagnetics, solid state devices, optics and nanoelectronics. You WILL use everything you learned from cal3, physics 4 and some chemestry.
Good luck my friend.
