I am in love with science, but I loathe math(I'm good at it, but I hate doing it).

What would be a good(respectable) field for me to go into?

I'm kinda in the same lot you are, and I'm doing very well with biotechnology. The statistics isn't that hard. It depends if you like the systematics involved in genetics though

Not OP but... which science field requires the least schooling (as I am a poor fag) but still pays decently (>$50k) and isn't completely done on paper/chalkboards?

>> No.1665045

>>1665041

Car mechanic.

>> No.1665046

I'd hate to think you'll choose a path because it has the least amount of math. Which science are you most interested in?! That's important...

/facepalm

>> No.1665050

Seriously OP: Chemistry.

I have the same problem. I hate math. Not because it is too hard or complicated, but because it is boring.

I am in my 4th year of chemistry now and it is really interesting.

I'm in the same boat as OP

I thought of going into electronics, the math there isn't too hard, so it doesn't get boring.

You need math for high school chemistry?

I do not know, because I am a germanfag. Here we dont really need any math for chemistry, except for calculation of orbitals etc, but that is theoretical chemistry and you dont have to specialize in that.

>> No.1665093

>>1665087
Well, the hardest math I needed (germanfag too) was fractions and logarithms, and some basic algebra...

>> No.1665094

>>1665087
High school chemistry for me was entirely math, poorly explained math that I don't remember much of at that.

>> No.1665096

>>1665093
Yea, that's the only math you need.

For me that counts as "no math".

>> No.1665168

although it's kinda sad, you still don't need maths for chemistry
however you will realize soon that you will have to endure other ways of mindfuck...

>> No.1665713

>>1665087
You don't do any kinetics in German? How do they teach acid-base strength then?

Sure, biology and chemistry don't really require much calculus (apart from statistics but there it's mostly behind the scenes) but you at least need good algebra.

>> No.1665728

Make yourself like math and appreciate it when doing science.

Chem requires math, a lot of it at higher levels.

But if u really hate it then just do biology -> medicine
that's respectable too

Biology has little math in it, but there's still a bit.

Psychology is also another good one, but there's still statistics.

Math is reasoning. See it as reasoning. Perhaps just force yourself to do it until you don't mind, or like it.

>> No.1665974

Its okay if you hate math OP
As far as science is concerned math is just a tool
Otherwise they would have become mathematicians

Science and math go hand in hand you fucking retard.

Try biology though.

Hey OP, I used to despire math also. Try Aleks software. It really helped me out with the basics.
