Thank you all for your replies and suggestions.
The thing is, I have always said that "I suck at Math" but in reality I never took the time to try to learn it, I was a lazy student in school, I absorbed information pretty easily and tested well in most classes except math. I guess mainly because math is not a subject you can passively learn. What I am hoping is that I can just start over, re-learn the foundations, and go from there.
I will need College Algebra to complete my AAS so taking it at my CC is not out of the question.
As for as the Degree..
I Chose BALS at first because it would be the easiest and quickest to get, and it along with my AAS would probably get me in the door of companies that are ok with technical skills with a bachelors of some kind. But many job listings list "CS or related degree"
so then I look at CS, BSBA CIS, or like someone mentioned the WGU IT degrees.
I guess I'm just trying to work out "can I do the math" and is it worth it. Would the BSBA CIS be considered related enough?
I am at the point where my required Gen eds are pretty much done and I need to make a decision which way to go.
Thanks again for your help, it helps to have something to talk to about this, and put my thoughts out there.
