Such as starting from the pre reqs to the course itself, and then finding a job and life after the schooling.

I'd like to be set up for success God willing- so should I take calculus in my senior year of high school for this career? I'm taking pre calculus and I have an A in it but I do not enjoy it, I'd rather take consumers math to be set up for life situations. If I were to take this career path I'd be taking the community college for pre reqs path and then apply for the Kapio'lani community college radiologic program.
