I decided on finance or accounting when i went to a local university and sat in on an accounting class, for the most part it was just putting the right transactions to the proper ledger doing a few algebraic equations to calculate ending balance, interest, profit/loss percentages, etc… i can do things such as that, and for all i know college math classes may not cram equations into a board and confuse me, but declaring a major that deals in math would require time, which i know in college i will have an abundance of, but i cant just teach myself, and i doubt student tutors will be willing to put forth enough patience to keep me steady. honestly i looked into quantitative economics along with a mass of other tier 1 and 2 degrees and most of them boiled down to math as a key concept for success, this scared me back into accounting since i had a small idea of what it would be like in college. as far as school ROTC my highschool has just that an ROTC class, but my mother wouldnt let me take it. The teacher and director of the program is strictly an army man (hes a vet and everything) and judging from the few times i talked to him only knew about naval policies that were roughly the same as the army. Physics is actually a required course for junior year at my highschool, but algebraII is also unless taking calculus and pre-cal ap and pre-ap. the physics wasn’t that difficult to be honest it was a few velocity problems here and a few potential energy problems there and for the most part went smoothly (but my original teacher did leave at the start of the year which made us go 8 weeks without official instruction) I know just like anyone i can be taught to understand, but with math it just takes time, and im more than willing to sacrifice a majority of my time if i have someone behind me to help me learn and understand it, the uneasiness for me is the thought of being in a tier 1 or 2 major with no one willing to sacrifice the hours of tutoring, teaching, and explaining to make sure i get it
