Math was my worst subject

[AI Opinion]

If math isn't your strength, consider software engineering fields that focus more on logic, creativity, and problem-solving. Front-end development is a great option, as it emphasizes design and user experience rather than complex algorithms. User interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design also prioritize creativity over advanced math skills. Additionally, roles like quality assurance testing or project management in software development require organizational skills and attention to detail, rather than mathematical prowess. Remember, foundational math skills are beneficial, but many aspects of software engineering rely on different strengths.

Software engineering requires logic and problem-solving skills, which are the key things learned when you study math.

If you're not good at math, you probably won't be successful at software engineering. At a minimum, you won't enjoy it.

Management may be a better choice for you, maybe managing a software engineering team if that's the area you want to be associated with.

A school counselor told me there’s no math in software engineering. Why would they lie?

I hear there’s some fields that isn’t too advanced into math.
