Mathematical

How exactly have you tried to learn the material without help? Help is only there to clarify the parts that you do not understand, not to teach you everything. People can learn things much faster learning things themselves by reading it themselves and following the steps. Nobody wants to help someone who is not willing to put forth the effort in learning something. That means that you read the book and try to learn the material. Come to the people with questions even before hand. You must understand some concept of the material. 
 
Describe the typical school week for me. Your school day with classes, activities, hanging out with friends, homework, studying, etc. and how much time you spend on each thing.
 
I find it very difficult to believe you get that much help and it is all 'so shit' that you still can not understand the material. It is either you are not putting forth enough effort or you are mentally handicapped. I do not think you are mentally handicapped, so I will believe it is effort. You probably do not understand how much work it is for a non genius to compete in a competitive academic environment. Your school allows you to pass probably because there are quotas on how many students need to pass.
 
I really think you just do not know what hard work really entails in an academic environment. When you study do not have any distractions like your phone, computer, music, friends, etc. and focus purely on your task. You need to read the book (yes, I know you do not ACTUALLY read the book). Reading a math book means you read everything and follow all the steps.... every step and do it yourself before hand and then check for mistakes afterwards and find out why you made those mistakes. Yes it is alot of work, but if you want to succeed you do it or you fail.
 
You either work hard now when you are young and easily make hundreds of thousand dollars a year salary or perhaps more or you work hard the rest of your life making little pay for potentially non-fulfilling work and pray you have dumb luck and win the lottery or something to escape living paycheck to paycheck. There are lots of people who regret not trying hard enough in school.

It is not just location. There are plenty of poor South East Asians that live in ghettos that end up going to top tier universities. The number one factor is self discipline to actually learn material and not taking short cuts.

What steps have you taken to actually try to learn the material? Nobody can help you unless you put forth effort and since you are behind that effort needs to be a lot more than you probably think.
 
I have tutored children from impoverished areas for free and most didn't even want to try at all. All they wanted me to do was their homework. Mental ability is normally distributed in a relatively narrow range. What separates successful students from failures is their mindset.
 
As I stated earlier, have you read every section of the book that the teacher has gone over? You should read it before the lecture and after the lecture. Have questions prepared before the lecture and ask them during the lecture if the teacher did not already clear your confusion.
 
Whether your help is really 'so shit' or not, you can learn the material yourself. There are plenty of children from ghettos that get into top tier universities without help in areas where the teachers are bad. A teacher isn't really there to teach everything, but to clarify on the main points or questions you have about the material. It is your job to teach yourself the material in high school. Elementary school is hand holding, middle school is a little more independence, and high school is where you are suppose to almost independent.
 
 

Well for one it doesn't matter if you get a tutor or not. It is up to you to learn the material. High school materials are very straightforward for the most part unless you get into like AP physics at some schools. You will see how much of a joke high school is if you enter a competitive top tier university.
 
In high school and even college, most lazy students do not even give a crap bout learning the material and just want to take shortcuts or have a tutor do their work for them. I was a teaching assistant and know first hand how many students go crying to complaining to me about them failing their course when I know for a fact they copied their homework from solution manuals or solutions from forums (some try to be sneaky with changing things up but it becomes obvious when you copy down the same stupid mistakes from the manuals or help sites or when the answer was for a completely different problem so they didn't even read the question).
 
Let me ask you this question first. Before each lecture do you read the sections in the book and follow along with a pencil and paper on the math problems trying them yourself before you see all the steps? If no, you aren't trying hard enough.
 
If you do that, after each lecture do you go back and read the sections within 24 hours?
 
How many hours a day are you studying? You should be studying every waking 'free' moment and not going out on weekends if you truly wanted to succeed. I have been in situations in my undergraduate years where I was taking a more difficult version of one of the most difficult math courses designed for student going into PhD programs so grades were cut throat and students studied their ass off. I didn't fully understand the material enough before the midterm which was in a week an a half. You know what I did? I literally studied almost every waking moment doing problems, understanding the proofs, asking the professor/teaching assistant questions for clarity. When you catch up to the material is when you can enjoy your free time doing whatever it is.
 
The only reason someone is not able to understand fundamental  high school material is laziness unless you have a low IQ/mental disability or recovering from a brain injury.

Algebra is basic math. I use algebra daily for non work stuff all the time. Jobs are becoming MORE math intensive nowadays than ever, especially if you want a master's degree or higher which many jobs require. Even sociology master students are required to take some statistic courses the utilize some calculus. You will not revisit how to do basic high school algebra again in college unless you are enrolled in an remedial math course, which will set you back a year if you are majoring in a technical field. Social status is not rated on education. It is rated on your professional success. The thing is most intelligent people in the younger generations have at least some college experience whether they dropped out or not to leave for industry. In school it is not all about passing. You can pass with a 2.0. It is why new grad jobs ask for GPA if you have no experience. I would never hire someone with a 2.0 because it clearly shows that have no understanding of the material.
 
Math isn't just about using it. It shows that you are able to problem solve. Jobs wants people to be able to problem solve. It develops critical thinking skills. Studies have even shown that people with full onset of alzheimer may show no symptoms if they work in fields that utilize critical thinking skills like programming or engineering or being a professor. This example is just one of many that shows how critical thinking affects the brains dramatically.

Is it their money they earned or is it your money you earned getting a job? If it was the latter you deserve access to it. If it was the former, you do not deserve access to it. Want a 3D printer? Get a job and earn the money to support what you want to do. Simple as that. You said it is your dream job, then go out there and support it.
 
No offense, but the way you type makes you sound childish, especially with your choice of words. Maybe act more mature and they will hear you out and believe it is something real when they see you put forth effort in getting a job to get the ball rolling on things.

Even if it goes up it will most likely be very small. You may break even with your transaction fees.

Workout. You will want water. I drink 2 gallons a day.

Slow maneuvers on a bike are more difficult than riding on the streets. There are many squids riding on the streets that have no idea how to countersteer. It seems all they know how is to go fast in a straight line and hope to god nobody hits them since they wear t shirts and shorts with tennis shoes.

I took the MSF course many years ago. Riding a motorcycle is the same as a bicycle except you have a motor. Countersteering and everything is just like a bicycle. Never stare as a fixed point, your eyes will guide where the bike goes.

Your eye sight won't improve eating foods good for your eyes. They just will not get as bad as they can.

Intimacy with the girlfriend, shooting, riding my sportbike, go for a drive in my sport cars, scuba diving, rock climbing, powerlifting, brazilian jiu jitsu, shopping for goods, cycling, etc.

I do not think the company has achieved much. It is more of a company that can buyout other companies.  The Whatsapp was already projected to hit a billion users whether Facebook bought it or not.

As in the title DBA, no. I work with them. I can do their job and I am fully qualified to do so, but it would be a substantial pay cut. Many of my relatives who are software engineers work as DBAs for second full time job to make some extra money. They enjoy it because they can telecommute and it is less stressful than their main job.

Not really. DBA isn't stressful of a job. They aren't actually paid that well. Salaries are very average.

When I have kids, I will buy a Tesla. It is a safer car. For now I will enjoy my sport cars. I do want a Tesla 2 seater, but a modern version. I believe Elon stated something about coming out with one after the model 3. If energy cell density triples, it would make electric cars a no brainier for me to get.
