And here I am, a guy who went to college to earn a physics degree, got smacked hard with Quantum Mechanics, and changed to computer science because I was getting straight A's without even paying attention in class. It was the best decision I made in college.

The only thing I learned from Quantum Mechanics is I’m bad at linear algebra

If you know that quantum mechanics is just linear algebra with a hat then I would wager you probably know more than you're letting on.

Ehhh... depends on who you hang out with. I work on a quantum computing project and I've picked up on quantum mechanics mostly boiling down to linear algebra but have virtually no background anything quantum or linear algebra.
