So I'm a High School graduating Student here in the Philippines,and I still don't know what college course I'm getting,I like Computer stuff but they say you need to be good at math or comfortable with it,I'm not that good at math but I enjoy computer stuff so..any advice?

I enjoy building PC hardware and stuff,Gaming(not good at drawing though).

They relate math to computers because math is analytical in nature - and computers - whether programming or repair/building/upgrading computers is analytical, and in some cases you need to know a lot of math.

If you like hardware, you could go the A+ route.

If you want to program or design PC components (more along the engineering path), you will have some minimum math and possibly logic requirements when going to school for computers.

Like most people, you are your biggest obstacle for allowing yourself to learn any math. Get rid of the mindset that you're not that good at math and, if you want to program or design computer components one day, do what you need to do to become better at math. Know in your mind that you can do it.

Well said. Take some prep classes and you'll be fine. Consider college algebra, followed by pre-calculus, and then calculus. If you can't jump right into college algebra, then take a prep class for that (fondly referred to as "bonehead" math by many).

Learning the math will assist in developing your logic skills, something essential for software and hardware design.

Good luck!
