I happened to find my final grades from first year in college and I have no idea how I got a B in calculus. My brain must have limited capacity, and everything I learned must have been replaced by stuff I learned later. I wonder what other useful things are be pushed off the stack by useless crap I read on the shroomery.

You don't care at all about your income?  That seems pretty illogical.  I care greatly about my income.  I will not be happy if I do not hit at least 120k by the peak of my career.

Why would I care about income? So I can buy things I don't need?

So you can buy things you want.  So you can afford to travel.  So you can spoil your children.  So you can pay for your children's education.  So you can have a nice house.  So you can have a cottage.

There's a ton of reasons.

I am planning on self learning some math and computer science. I havent taken a math class in 10 years or so, and community college wont let me retake algebra because i guess i took it too many times back in the day.

Does anyone here know of good software programs that walk you through that shit?




Kahn academy will really help, but make sure you understand the supporting concepts. I'm taking calculus II this semester, and it feels like each course you take reinforces your understanding of the courses that preceded it.




I just started a Calc II course and it's been almost 10 years since I took Calc I. Gonna be kind of rough I think. We were just starting into integration near the end of Calc I and I remember very little. Taking a computer science course too and that looks fun. Never used Python before but it looks moderately straightforward to use so far.

Python is a very expressive language and probably a pretty good one to start with.

And none of them that are as fulfilling as doing what you love and care about. Considering I love what I will be doing and what I am learning that's all I need.

Growing up dirt poor and seeing my parents making the best of the situation made me care very little for material needs. Who needs to waste money living in excess.

I mean fuck most people don't even grow their own food, how fucked is that? A huge chunk of our economy is based off of greed produced by peoples desire to not put the small amount of work it takes to get free food. Our whole culture is fucked because of how spoiled everyone thinks they deserve to be, when enjoying the simple things is all you need.

Definitely use some of the resources you saw above. the biggest thing is practice. For me going back to kahn academy and just working through example problems with him is enough for me to remember something covered awhile ago. If you have a textbook that covers Calc I, II, and III feel free to go back and practice some of those problems to. Remembering derivatives of elementary functions and the order of operations with regards to integrals (being able to pull out factors from inside an integral), and u substitution will be huge for the first chunk it looks like from the sections I've covered so far.

It was actually some of your comments on here that got me thinking that computer science would be a good thing to pursue, will see how I do in it though. I've done some other programming but it was quite a few years ago. The lectures so far are pretty understandable and fun, but the calc is going to be a struggle I think. I used to do fairly well at math but I've forgotten quite a lot.

Yeah when it comes to calculus you basically teach yourself. The classes aren't long enough to explain some shit..usually lots of examples and online mymathlab..

Both views seem like harmful extremes to me.  I care about my income, but chose a career path with a relatively low ceiling because it allows me to do what I most value and enjoy.  I'm happier living within small means and spending my time enriching my own life and the lives of my clients.  I can work less, enjoy it more, and maintain a standard of living for myself and a couple other people that provides more than enough to educate a child and keep us well cared for. :shrug:  Perhaps some people are better off in careers that peak over $120k/year...though to be honest, it seems very questionable to me.

" I couldn't give two fucks less about my future income as long as all my bills are paid... "

I don't think it's an extreme if you just said what I said in different words. All you did was specifically outline specific bills. I think people overly concerned about having a fuck-huge income are the worst examples of what happens when "Hurray capitalism!" It's practically a mental illness.
