Not being good at math.

[Electromancer]

Then I guess I'll be stuck with a low-paying job.

I can barely do algebra.

English, foreign languages, history, and sociology are useless degrees.

I might as drop out of college.

A useless degree is better than no degree.

No it isn't.

I'm going to be stuck with a low paying job.

I can't do math.

No it isn't.

I can't do math.

How much is 1+1?

How much is 1+1?

I can do that, but I can't do algebra. That means I don't have a lot of options for a major.

[Electromancer]

No it isn't.

Yes it is. Any employer would rather you succeed at earning a degree regardless of how practical it is than to fail at getting one altogether. Or worse, not even trying at all. It shows that you're motivated and hard working enough to learn a specialized skill.

I'm going to be stuck with a low paying job.

I can't do math.

Like everyone else has been saying, your own attitude is hurting you more than any kind of mental deficiency ever could. As long as you believe that you'll never be good at math, you won't be. It's called a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I was just checking if you had it down enough to be working a 'low paying job' where you'd have to handle money.

But I was in resource math all throughout school.

All the GOOD paying jobs require math.

I won't be able to get a good job with an English, foreign language, history, or sociology major.

I'll never contribute to society with those kinds of majors. Those majors aren't considered valuable.

So? There's two things you can do about that. Either get help and put more effort into it so you can improve, or you can avoid math and find something else.

You're generalizing too much. Yes, math based majors are in high demand because of the increase in technology, but that doesn't mean those majors don't have a place. If you're worried about how much those jobs pay, I would do some research on the subject. I can give you a few suggestions, but I'm sure you can find plenty of other options.

But my major will be seen as a joke.

Most of the physical and social sciences require math, so my options are limited.

I might as well not get a degree at all.

You wanna know what will make you fail? Your attitude. DON'T insult those with those majors, as many valuable people of society and with well paying jobs have just those degrees. My degree will most likely be history or political science. Stop being such a jerk.
