Salutations. From the time I was little, I loved to know how things went together and worked. I had dreams of opening my own pen repair shop. Engineering seemed like a natural choice for me, as any other field simply did not excite me the way STEM did. I chose mechanical engineering, and have stuck to it for the past 3 years. Here's the tricky part: I struggle in math. With help, I can shine, and nothing beats the feeling I get when I correctly work a problem. Quite frankly, I love math. I just can't do it. I'm not afraid of hard work. I know I have a passion for mechanical engineering, but if I can't do math, then should I just settle for something else? I've already taken Calc I, and I know it will only get tougher from here. I am currently in Trig, because I knew I needed a strong foundation in math for engineering, and it has honestly helped.

Edit: current freshmore (AP tests and dual-credit), got accepted to multiple universities but chose CC due to financial issues.

Engineering is a passion, but I struggle in math. Should I

I can't do math. Should I just get another degree?
