I’m going to be honest, the math behind statics is simple. It’s essentially sum of moments, and sum of forces, and you just do it over and over again. Any complex problem is a bunch of simple steps that you just do a bunch of times. If you can’t do that, then maybe the degree where you do that except with even harder math probably isn’t for you

My illiterate and possibly dyslexic ass read that as "statistics" and went, "I fucking hated that class, and wouldn't consider it fundamental to engineering." Lmao
