I did an advanced general engineering degree and had top grades at school in math - I still struggled in 3rd year uni maths.

It became very theoretical and hence I get bored - Much preffered playing with "real" things be it computers, electricity or gas turbines.

Maths is a bit of a cornerstone of it all - But you'll rarely use all the math you learn in an actual job (Unless you decide to teach it!)
