is it worth getting into coding/programming/web dev or software engineering if you can't do and hate math, as some people say?

[orengeˢ]

Just asking since i get mixed answers

It really depends what you are making and at what level.
If you are working with high-level programming languages, you probably won't need much math.
High-level programming language are closer to human language that you don't need to deal with tedious below the depth numbers of the computations on hardware side.

So with high-level programming languages, if you are not making anything that has to do with math, you won't be using much math. You'd mostly use basic addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication.


But, that is just coding area.
If you are talking about certification or degree, that is different.
If you are getting certification in certain language, you probably won't need much math.
But if you seek college/university degree, you will be required to take advanced math courses.

Look at the number of people who have these skills and who are prospering in life.

Look at the ones who skip the degrees and do it themselves who became billionaires.

I was a web designer 25 years ago but so much has changed so you need to be educated correctly and have lot's of money to pay for it.

yes you're the ideal candidate for an entry-level position.

if you were any more qualified nobody would hire you.

The billionaires from the past were prodigies and its an era gone by by a long way. This isn't the Silicon Valley all over again.

[DarkCrystalMethod]

You are allowed to sit at the dev's table, but we do not grant you the rank of master...

[Hammer Of Evil]

its your choice which is more valuable to you. imo, if you hate math and refuse to do any of it, don't waste any money on education you won't do, just dive into programming. a lot of talented programmers are self taught. pick a language (that isn't java) and run with it.

make stuff, even if it sucks, you'll figure it out on the job.

I respectfully can only disagree.

On my next food break I will watch Shark Tank.

All of the major sharks and just about all of the guest sharks grew up poor.

Mark made his billions by being the person who brought sound to the internet.

All it takes is one good idea and...

Sorry. I don't know what that pic is or what you mean. Brit here. I guess that some 'show' type thing?

I could/would reply if I understood It ;-)
