Why the gently caress do I need to be an expert in Math and Statistics to get a degree in Comp Sci? This loving poo poo has become unbearable. I'm already 10 years in the undergrad and have only passed half of the subjects which was literally cancer. Average graduation time is 8 years while the minimum time needed is 4. It would take at least 2 more years of non stop studying to finish this poo poo. Why do they make em so hard?

WE GET IT. YOU LOVE GUN JESUS. Toujours des fusils Bullpup Français.
OP you wasted 10 years in the undergrad because you are more concerned with posting lovely threads in GBS and over using the word "literally" than studying or doing coursework or bothering to learn new practical skills that make you and other people better off

Unless your undergrad program is nuts you'll only have to take single-variable calc, discrete math, basic stats and maybe linear algebra.

Considering that you're the sort of person who's fine with misusing the word "literally" I strongly advise you to change careers. There are enough idiots in my field already, thank you

statistics ≠ probability although statistics is a useful subject in its own right.

In theory CS degrees prepare you for heavy duty algorithm/design/etc stuff

In practice 90%+ of programmer jobs are working with crud apps or websites that any old rear end in a top hat could do

My job currently is heavy duty algo optimisation at massive scale and lambda calculus poo poo, proper computer science problem spaces, and there is no room there for folks without the deep theory or maths skills, they can't hang - but I will concede 95%+ of modern software engineering has only minimal crossover with this

The theory stuff was more my jam than actual programming. It's okay I know how to fix every programming thing ;

Lol if you want to waste a lot of money take like philosophy in school and then do computer touching after.

It works. You may find yourself posting on forums that may be either dead, gay, or both, many years later but at least you didn't get a dumb degree with nerds.
