It's easy to get trapped in those courses. I took the placement test and tested way lowered in math because I basically wasn't very good. The class was extremely difficult for me. I remember being required to solve square roots by hand without a calculator ("show your work!"). Probably fun for some people but I was going to be there forever, and programming was a breeze.
Instead I simply studied the placement exam, retook it and passed into college level math and dropped my other classes. Higher level math classes are much easier in my opinion because there isn't the same emphasis on process but instead on competency. This is also the biggest difference between high school and college classes in my opinion.
Later on life i do enjoy solving square roots by hand for fun.
