Hey guys,

Obviously the title says what it says but I'll give some background info. I'm a few months into an economics degree and I've got to say I am loving it. Even the maths and stats which is something I never thought I'd ever enjoy is something that I find really fun, like a puzzle which you need to figure out.

I'm 25 and still live with my parents and have had real struggles with getting a job for years at this point. I then decided to go to uni to try to help with this.

I'm studying at the uni of London, which is a course designed by the LSE so I can technically call myself an LSE student, so it's a good uni that I'm at, with decent prospects potentially down the line.

However, with AI coming in the future. And all the uncertainty in the job market for those with degrees trying to find work. Im wondering whether I should cut my losses so far and try to get into a trade of some sort.

But what's got me thinking is whether I'm capable of getting a 2:1 (in school I got very average grades, although I was undiagnosed ADHD at the time. And also, my age of 25 means that I need to get into something quickly and start earning some money.

I'm just seeking some different people's opinions and any help/guidance would be really appreciated :)

Hey guys, I'm persuing a degree in Economics and I've just started. The maths isn't easy of course but I had been preparing for a few months before I started so I'm quite proficient in integration & differentiation.

However I never did any calc 3 and my course has gone beyond the things I studied to prepare and I have an exam very soon and I'm struggling with the new material.

I'm getting quite desperate lol so I thought I'd ask for advice from anyone who's done a lot of maths before. Where is the best place to find resources for doing things like Lagrange multiplier, row operations, multivariable calculus etc? And just calculis in general. I'm at the stage where professor Leonard doesn't cut it anymore aha.

The university is awful at teaching, if you can even call it teaching- so I guess I'm just seeing help from people out there if you've done something similar.

Any help would be greatly.appreciated.
