You've got the right idea about computer science.
As for Calc II, no pain, no gain. If you're STEM-inclined, stick with something real--mathematics, physics, medicine, engineering, chemistry. "Real" opens up many different career paths, so if you land in one you don't like, it is much easier to transition to another.
Unless you really need some money in a hurry, and have a job offer just waiting for the cert, I wouldn't waste my time on being a PC tech. Obsolete skill.

- jstewartmobile 8y agoComputer hardware is practically disposable today (Raspberry Pis, Chromebooks, smartphones, etc). Businesses have moved a lot of their workflow to cloud-based services (Square, Office 365, Dropbox, etc). So not much of a market for PC troubleshooters these days. Outside of rural areas, most of the PC techs I know of have transitioned to iPhone screen repair. edit: Example: old days: cash register breaks after hours, make emergency call for PC tech, PC tech spends an hour or setting up a replacement, and another hour or so repairing the old one, and another hour or so in transit--all billable. 2019: iPad with Square credit card reader dies. Teenage employee plugs the card reader into her iPhone, logs in under the store account, and the pumpkin spice continues to flow.
