I’m working my way to a CS degree and am currently slogging my way through an 8-week Trig course. I barely passed College Algebra and have another Algebra and two Calculus classes ahead of me.
How much of this will I need in a programming job? And, more importantly, if I suck at Math, should I just find another career path?
I’d argue it’s a bad career path overall. You will get laid off working as a dev, it’s just how it works, and if you haven’t managed a 10+ headcount by your mid 30’s you will find yourself facing ever escalating ageism 35 on as an old man dev. It’s not a field that generally professionally rewards experience beyond 5-ish years.
