I didn't realize how important something very simple like "Order of Operations" would be in later stages of mathematics. I definitely agree with the 10,000 hours thing.
My goal is definitely not necessarily a college degree because I've already done that. I think its very important to teach our children Science and Mathematics in order to get into a decent career field. Our education system appears to weed people out of opportunities in the Math/Science/English areas.
I was looking at some of the mathematics degrees and although that would be a huge accomplishment for me. I think I'd have to prepare on my own prior to even thinking about taking a mathematics course.
Thank you for the inputs so far. I will look at them.
I don't know why I have not seen anyone mention this website here, as it is free and an incredible resource for learning various topics (Math, Science, Economics & Finance, Arts & Humanities), called Kahn Academy. Check it out I think you will find all would would like to know about Math (Early math all the way to Calc).
