text: are there any college degrees which do not require a lot of math, yet pay well ??? i'm having a hard time choosing a college degree which will allow me to obtain a well paying job, yet does not require a lot of math.   can someone please throw some ideas at me? originally i wanted to go into the medical field, but i'm just being honest with myself, i don't like math. period. so it would probably end up being a waste of time and money if i went that route. i can deal with a couple of math classes, but not math every year of school.  what can i take up? is there any major that doesn't require a lot of math?????? my love is personal training and fitness. but i'm being realistic. unless i'm one of the rare exceptions in the field,  i don't think fitness would give me something to fall back on for years to come. if you don't like maths, do a humanities subject.  perhaps english? you can do practically anything with english.  or if not study a trade, like plumbing - there is a shortage of plumber so they get paid really well. lots of headmasters have given up their jobs to be plumbers because it pays more.
