[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am willing to give more information, I just do not know what to give. To answer the questions that I see so far, he enjoyed Astronomy and learning about space. He was interested in computer science but the Math part of it scared him off. He has handy with fixing things when it comes to computers. Is that what Information technology would be?[/quote] look at IT, Management Information Systems, and cyber security. None use much math.[/quote]

Best advice so far. There are a variety of things to specialize in with IT. And if there is challenging math, tutors can help demystify it.[/quote]
Cybsecurity is part of a CS degree, at least at UMD, and you need high level math in that degree program.

Even their Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering program requires Cal 1 to 3, and Linear Algebra.  This program would actually be good for OP's DS as there is a hardware track, but it does require several advanced math classes.
