Did you take Maths Literacy, or did Mathematics not go your way? You still have strong career options. The careers here do not need pure Mathematics to get in. Each one links to a full guide with the exact subjects and marks you need, where to study, and how to pay for it.
A few, like software developer, also have a university route that does need Mathematics. But there is a way in without it, like a college diploma or a coding bootcamp. Always check the subjects on the guide.
