Diagnosed at 30, I graduated below my potential according to my therapist.

I have a master's degree, but I discovered I also have dyscalculia which explains a lot when it comes to my terrible understanding of mathematics.

Now I think about it, I probably would have pursued a degree in geology or astrophysics if I got diagnosed when I was a kid. Oh well...

I became a geologist because it required the least mathematics of all the sciences offered at my school.

i was just the opposite, i got a math degree because it required no long term projects or papers. all homework and tests.
