If it's just the math you're concerned about I wouldn't sweat it if you can get through the classes. I pretty much suck at doing any math off the top of my head but as a programmer the beauty of it is you always have a computer in front of you to do calculations. The trick is to know how certain algorithms work and when to use them.

I also started by teaching myself C and it was definitely not easy and while I rarely ever used it professionally I wouldn't have as good an understanding of higher level languages without it. Writing low-level code is more fun for me but there's just way more money to be made and flexibility doing front-end or quick bespoke projects.

I can't really speak on business degrees at all though except that to me it sounds boring and way less flexible as to being able to choose your own career path.
 
I understand from an entrepreneur buisness standpoint, you invest in something your passionate in, and maintain an open mind of constructing a buisness. I have ideas, but im unsure if the risk is worth taking.

If you're taking a risk that's going towards your happiness then you have nothing to lose. If you don't take it you'll live with "what ifs".

You're young, take a risk.

True, I currently run my own store for a new company, so on my free time at work I take online courses from Harvard in computer science. Them shits hard then a hell, and I JUST started today practicing C programming. I lasted 45 minutes lol. Ima do some practice on it daily though with hopes of enjoying it and understanding.

True, i guess its the social expectations that I put on myslef and from society, but lately i been realizing that the shit they do is that hamster lifestyle that I grew up promising not to engage in. Im realizing money is amazing, but that shit doesnt bring you happiness. None of them nion lights on those Audis, and Range Rovers, lambos, etc. Its all about what you do and take pride in, so appreciate that Pico.
 
I don't know if i can post this here but...

i used to like that series (way better than the o'reilly ones) because by the time you get to day 7 you're pretty much done and can just skip around the rest to fill in the blanks.

i will say though - if you get to variable pointers and calling arrays and methods byref vs. byval and get confused - don't try to skip over that shit... make sure you understand it thoroughly before you move on. (i really wish someone would have told me that when i was first learning.)

Does this come with a compiler or do i have to download one? if so do you know where too?
 
Do Computer Science. Your knowledge will be a lot more specialized and well-defined and marketable.

Business principles can be picked up on outside of school.

True he should take risks, but if he's anything like most college kids he might be taking out loans. Failing isnt an option when you gotta pay it back either way. There's plenty to lose (if this is in fact the case).
