You already have many strengths that fit perfectly into creative and people-focused careers. Since you enjoy culinary arts, creativity, art, helping and defending people, and subjects like science and social studies, you do not need to be excellent at math to build a successful career.
A career in Culinary Arts and Hospitality could be a great choice for you. You could become:
A Professional Chef
Pastry & Bakery Chef
Food Stylist
Restaurant Entrepreneur
Culinary Instructor
Hotel or Café Manager
Nutrition or Healthy Food Specialist
Event & Catering Planner
Your creativity is a huge advantage in the culinary field because cooking is not just about recipes — it is also about presentation, innovation, teamwork, leadership, and making people happy.

Hi Mia,
Great question—and you’ve got a really strong mix of skills to build from. You don’t need to be great at math to have a successful career. Based on what you shared, you might want to explore paths like culinary arts, law or advocacy, social sciences, creative fields (like art or design), or even certain areas of science that aren’t heavily math-focused.
My advice is to keep leaning into what you enjoy and where you naturally do well, and look for careers that let you use those strengths every day. There are plenty of options out there for you.
Wishing you the best as you explore!

Hi Mia!
Adding to the wonderful advice you’ve already received, I wanted to share a quick thought on the math side of things.
"Not being good at" math is often such a subjective feeling, and you might find that your skills are actually much stronger than you give yourself credit for! Sometimes, it really comes down to the context - a different professor or a new subject area can make a world of difference in how you approach the material. For instance, math in an economics course feels very different from the statistics-focused work you might encounter in psychology.
Whatever happens with your studies, please don't let it discourage you. You’ve got this, and I’m rooting for you to find the path that’s the perfect fit for you!

This way, you can find a career that really suits you.
