2. It dont matter if im crap at maths (like doing equasions etc) as i dought it i will need it if i take courses like web designing.

Well, given my correct spelling, arsy attitude, and outright hyper-intelligence, it's safe to say i'm British. (Urban is really a Brit. He was swapped at birth.)

As for maths. Are you serious? Take it from someone who's been through all those dodgy courses. Maths is at LEAST 70% of the course. If you don't get at LEAST a B at maths (excluding bad days, incorrect results, etc), then you should consider a different course.

I can't believe i even had to say that. Considering programming is all about the manipulation of numbers, I'd have expected you to at least grasp the idea that good math skills were involved.....

I think the most important thing to keep in mind is you have the rest of your life to do what you want. I felt under pressure to make my decisions early but i now realise that there is really no rush. Okay the practicality of switching occupation and getting re-educated is not good but hey as long as you are happy and healthy thats all that matters.

Maths is a big part in quite alot of courses, and is one of the main requirements, along with English.
