In advance: I'm m16 and am in the 10th grade of a grammar school (NRW, if that has something to say).
Since the 6th grade, my dream has actually been to study computer science at a university of applied sciences and also a later job. I like to know about computers and help other people with problems. I also enjoy spending time on computers (be it playing, doing homework, or doing research).
Now it is like this: in math I'm 5. I can't handle formulas at all, because I simply do not have this logical understanding of when to use which formulas and whatever. In addition, since the beginning we have felt a repetition of quadratic functions and linear equations in every exam, which makes the exam even worse for me than it already is.
You see, the whole thing irritates me a little. Computer science is the future and a job in that direction is well paid and can be useful for your private life. It's really the only thing that comes to my mind.
Since math is such a big problem for me, I might try to move on to the practical side of computer science. So in an IT department, taking care of laptops and, for example, updating PCs to the latest Windows, worrying about blue screens, etc. Don't just sit behind your PC and program or develop.
Do you think this is worth trying? Or should I look for something else? (What might also fit?)
You can try it but with the bad math grade uiuiui.
Try it. But you have to get better at math
You can try. But math is also part of computer science.
I think that system integration would be something for you first - an apprenticeship. Otherwise, in my opinion, you will experience your blue miracle in mathematics when studying applied computer science. Especially when you have problems in math (apart from the fact that the NC has to be right and things look bad with a bad math grade).
For system integration, you only need training and no outstanding math skills. It's not like you will never go to college either.

You don't need a degree for that.
LG - trained system integrator and meanwhile software developer.
If you want to go to hardware support, you may be better off with an apprenticeship in the field of IT system integration.

On the one hand, a degree is quite heavy on math, on the other hand, it rarely has the focus that supports you in your desired area.
Do you want an answer that is understandable for laypeople?
Then it reads "Forget it".
Everything to do with computer science is strongly mathematics-based.
If you don't have a knack for this according to your own statement, then you will be wasting valuable study time.
Please note: There's no such thing as "THE INFORMATIKER" as a professional group. This is a huge field with many possibilities.
Perhaps you will go to the Federal Employment Agency to start with and get non-binding advice on the possibilities. If you are interested in the field, I would definitely do it.
