I hated maths.
So I went into a profession that needed maths skills and thrived. I was always good at doing everyday mental arithmatic and that was really all I needed.
At no stage in my career did I ever need to lay cigs end to end or arrive at "B" at the same time as my mate who used a bike!!
I confess that all these years on I was able to do the sums (it took me a long while) but I got bored by 7,8 & 9 !!
