Maths != IT
While good maths is essential for some branches of STEM related careers - for others it is hardly needed.
Most IT roles have no maths involved - or hardly any basic arithmetic. Maths is my poorest subject - yet in 45 years of IT trouble-shooting and development it was never a handicap. It was surprising how few of my colleagues in recent years had any idea how to handle simple binary arithmetic - something I learned on entering the computer industry after leaving school.
What has been useful in my IT career was my schoolboy knowledge of physics, chemistry, electronics, and English essay writing.
