This is always a hard question to deal with... when you like an area, but you need something (like math) that you feel you are weak in.


The first question is if "Am I weak, or is just this my perception?" If you are a "midrange student" in an advanced math class, you may FEEL weak, but actually be much stronger than you think! It can be useful to talk to a teacher, adviser, or someone who knows you a bit, and your ability, and can give you some feedback on how you are doing.


IF that feedback comes back that "you are stronger than you think"... Great! Keep working on it and move forward.


IF the feedback is "you are weaker than you may need to be", then you can see if work harder to overcome that hurdle. Sometimes focusing on a few key concepts and getting some help on those that you "do not get" will be enough.


If, however, you "hate math, and can't force yourself to study it", then career paths that use math a lot may not be a good choice. Do note, however, that a LOT of fields that used to use a lot of math (accounting, architecture, finance, etc), want to you to know how it works (for your own mental growth) but have software to help with the "normal" activities. Every new cash register, for instance, works out how much change to give back to a customer. :)


And if you absolutely need math for a specific degree in a field (say a medical doctor) there are lots of related degrees and jobs that are in the medical field and don't take as much math. You might consider one of these.


A lot of this is about self-honesty, good feedback from other around you who can comment on your situation, and judging what you actually like. I realize this can be a very stressful time and others may have expectations. But it is also time to realize you have many paths available! Look at the ones that look fun to travel to you! And keep learning and challenging yourself in any field. It makes you both better in your profession, and keeps you interested in what you are doing. Best of luck!
