I can't offer much advice but I feel this is more inspiring than consumerism general, have a bump.

Keep your head high brother

Kill kid
Kill gf
Kill self

Doesn't have to be in that order.

Thank you. I have high hopes for this post.

I'm in college myself for Software Engineering, so I dont have any useful advice other than keep pushing, anon. Best of luck to you.

The best job I've ever had was working IT help desk at my university before I left. I had just started when I got the news too so I wasn't able to enjoy the job for a long time. But dammit it that wasn't the most fun two months I've ever had working anywhere. It didn't even feel like work desu.

One of the reasons I felt the urge to research this more was because one of my friends that I worked Helpdesk with just posted about a job he got with Lockheed Martin in Colorado as a software engineer. I looked it up and apparently it pays around 75k/yr. I was really feeling jealous.

How many math classes have you had to take and how far along are you in your degree program?

Is "to be honest" replaced with desu?
haha wtf I just noticed that.

If you want to go into CS/enginnering/STEM, you'll need a hell of a lot more math than college algebra.

There's not much of a market for non-CS/SE major remote engineers unless you can find it within yourself to run a freelance/independent frontend web dev business. You'll need to find clients, capital, time, design skills, code skills, and business sense to do that though.

College is almost mandatory if you want to work enterprise remotely, unless you somehow manage to have an impressive portfolio or previous experience without a degree.

This is very ancedotal, but many people I know say that working remotely is not very desirable, even with the prospect of being able to care for your child. You would most certainly be nothing more than a contractor and there are communication barriers associated with it.

That being said I also personally know someone who makes 6 figures USD with no college education by building/maintaining professional photographer/videographer websites. She's self-learned but also very ambitious and social. Its all about who you know, being ambitious, and if you can find an untapped market I suppose.

> How much math will I need to be successful in this?

none. learn math for your general intellect, not for that job skill.

>being this new

build a cool project
show it to employers
get hired

you don't always need a degree. people often get hired because of cool shit they've built (often as hobbies)

I'm halfway through my sophomore year. I've taken Calculus I, Calculus II, and a prerequisite course for calculus I (trigonometry and algebra wrapped into one)

I have discrete mathematics next semester, which I know fuck all about. No idea if it's anywhere near as hard as Calculus II (the only math course so far that I would call hard).

Unfortunately most of my classes so far have been knocking out core curriculum bull shit. Only taken one programming class so far and taking 2 next semester.

You might have problems doing the other 2 if you kill yourself first
