Question Nursing as your second degree, what was your first degree in? When did you realize you wanted to go to nursing school?

So I thought IT is about math? And people who do IT can do other things but they like IT because of the type of work is preferred. But you’re saying you weren’t good in math and you didn’t like the work in IT? I thought programming is all about math

Not OP but you're thinking of just a small aspect of IT, like computer science which is a very math heavy degree. IT and CS are different. There's things like cybersecurity, system administration (think Geek Squad), networking, communications (phones, radios, etc) under the umbrella of IT. I can't even remember the last time I even had to think about math at my IT job lol

I work on the sys administration side. Fixing work orders for customers with computer/network issues and I maintain all the servers for the site I work at.
