I found this forum while looking up the basics of calculus, which now I know is a very important part of becoming a software engineer.
So this is my first post.
I am trying to find help(any) to my path of becoming a software engineer. I decided I wanted to get into the Software Engineering Program at ASU (since it is AZ is my home state).
I always had a huge interest in the Engineering Field but never taken a step forward. I had a high paying job.
I have not attended school in a fairly long time and I never graduated from high school. I received my GED instead and went to UTI for Automotive and Diesel(it seemed like cool thing to do at the time). I received my Associates Degree in 2005 and graduated in the top 3% of my class with a GPA of 3.93.
Now, I realized blue collar work is just not for me. I lost my very high paying Blue Collar job and I am in a perfect position to go to school for as long as it takes. I have almost no bills ,I own my home and I just turned 30 last year.
Where do I start?
It seems like there is a lot to know.
Calculus for instance. My math I would not say is poor but. . . I am fairly strong at basic Algebra at best. But, I have never even attempted to learn anything above that since there was no requirement for it at all.
Any suggestions to help me on ,y path would be very helpful.
Sorry for the long first post. Just thought I should explain a bit.
