I'm already burnt out

[pluggingalong]

Everything was going great until I got in to D420 Discrete Math. This class, and probably its sequel D421, might exceed the abilities of my old brain. I'm only 50% of the way through the material, and am completely lost. My semester runs out next month. If I can't pass it, I am thinking of dropping out taking D420 and D421 at Study.com. Maybe hearing the material from another angle would help. If I switch to SDC, I'd probably take any other transferable courses while I was there, and also get the CompTIA P+ needed for the Data Science degree. Then I could re-enroll in to WGU, and pick-up where I left off, except skipping the problematic courses. I'm always stressed at WGU because I feel like I have to do as much as possible within a 6 month term, at SDC I would be more relaxed going month-to-month. I could also stop for a month or two and do some travelling, which I can't do right now.

If I couldn't pass the Math classes at SDC, I could choose a major at WGU that I already had all the Math for, probably Cloud. If I picked Cloud, I would probably delay re-enrolling in WGU, and get all the certs (there are a bunch) before I re-enrolled. I hate cert exams, but I can do them given enough time. I would only do that if I felt like it was really impossible for me to pass D420/D421.

If I failed at the Math classes at SDC *and* failed at the AWS/Azure/CompTIA certs from the vendors, I may have to pick another college. If I got to that point, I would be willing to look at the non-tech degrees people always get when getting their degree "in 6 months". Things like web-marketing, small business, etc. I would just be punting for a degree at that point. I guess the next 4 weeks will tell.
