text: going back to school but i have a math phobia, help? i want to go back to school and i was thinking about getting my ba in arts but i dont know what kind of jobs i can get or what courses i should take can somebody give me some advice?  i would love to take something with little or no math. go back and get the degree, if it's what you want. don't worry about what type of job you'll be able to get. just do what you love...and money will come. that's the law of the universe. as far as your math fobia...just jump in it. that's the only way to conquer your fear. you have to give something to get something. if you are willing to fight through whatever it takes to obtain your degree...i can tell you right now that you will succeed.
