Yeah, it was always the easiest subject for me. Engineering degree is math overload but truth is basic math is all you need at least everywhere I have worked. No one will ever ask you any related to calculus. I most likely would not be able to solve a calc 3 problem right now lol.

The bolded is the absolute truth. I can't think of a time when I had to use anything beyond algebra and that was to write some scripts to make my life easier. Do what you need to do to pass the math requirements but don't worry too much about actually having to use it.
For some IT degrees, you only need college algebra. It’s the more engineering focused programs that go off into calculus land.
Don't let it scare you. There's a few classes in the curriculum just there to weed people out - don't be one of those people.Want to get the IT degree but the math is scaring me off now
Create those projects and use some in demand technologies. Go reverse engineer your next move. Go find 10 job postings and learn the skills.
Also in the future specialize if you want to. That will help you as well. My focus is cloud security. Taking Az 500 and Security+ in feb.
Degree path I’m currently looking at
Program: Computer Science & Information Technology Field of Study - Tarrant County College - Acalog ACMS™
Similar to what I did. That Computer Organization, Calc, and Physics are the ones that separate the men from the boys. Calc and Physics I've never actually had to apply on the job.
I didn't eitherWell I’m up for the challenge. I’m not paying for the degree anyway

@JT-Money I couldn't find any places offering free classes in my area. what are your thoughts on this?
Albany Technical College - CompTIA A+ Certified Technician Preparation Certificate – CA71
Albany Technical College - Preparation for A+ Certificate – PFA1
I wouldn't pay any kind of real money for an A+ certificate unless it was damn near free. You can probably buy a Udemy A+ course for less than $100 bucks.
