Re learning math

im 20 years old been working at a Kroger since I graduated but want to do something better with my life I’ve always wanted to be a mechanical engineer but im not very good at math but i want to become better.

There are so many youtube math resources from so many different teachers i dont have time to watch them all to see their particular style of teaching. I need opinions on who may be the best math professor on youtube.

im a visual learner who learns through lots of examples and step by step breakdown of a problem or concept. not someone who just tells me 5+5=10 but why and how the equation or numbers or variables work this way. idk hopefully this makes sense just need some help moving forward

Next steps in career

I’m 24 and work as an instrument tech in the oil and gas industry. It seems like the logical next step would be to become an electrical engineer maybe but mechanical engineering fascinates me more. I don’t have any problems with math or hard classes.

I kind of want to stay in the oil and gas industry since I live in Houston, but I don’t mind moving out of it. Are there any mechanical engineers in here who work in the oil and gas industry?

If so, what do you do and what does job projection look like in about 3 to 4 years assuming that’s when I’d graduate. Any advice or insights are appreciated Thank you

Career Advice

Want to become controls and automation engineer. Is this degree the way to go? The only one like it in my area that I’ve seen so far. What’s the instrumentation all about, I honestly don’t know much about that side of it.

I’m trying to avoid electrical engineering, I’m sure it pays more and has higher respect but I’d rather avoid the super complex math.

Will the controls field be to saturated in 4 years if I graduate? Will it be worth it? Just some of the question I have.

Any advice and insight is appreciated thank you!
