Hi
I am probably not thinking very straight right now, and what I type may seem jumbled. If it does, please stay with me.
I didn't have a very good time at school. I had a death in the family when I was about 6, and suffered a partial amnesia on my life upto a certain point. (some sort of ptsd). The reason I am telling this is that any base for my education was lost. All basic maths and english were forgotton. By the time I got to secondary school I was already well behind the curve. As a double whammy I also was regularly assaulted at school (weak kid, dealing with problems) and had to leave school at 15.
Fast forward ten years. I have always been scared of maths, and I don't do too well at it. (It's my worst subject)
So I have managed to struggle by with no maths education, but now I think I have found what I want to do - Electronics engineering. What I want to ask is do I have a chance? I'm old, poor at maths and scared of it. I'm not a dummy and am quite bright, but I just want to ask whether or not my goal is possible or I should forget it and do something else?
Thanks for listening.
