To be honest, if math/logic isn’t your strong suit, you do not want to have a career in either computers or engineering.
Just sayin’…
I would take advantage of all the testing they can give you for career re-education at Vocational Rehabilitation. You can find the best area to concentrate on.
In any field, you must have a strong background in basic math, or so I was told by my parents, but computer security also requires programming, which therefore requires math.
you will probably need to take calculus or statistics, if you haven’t already.
My major is Business IT and even that requires statistics
usually colleges or universities post the requirements to get a particular major.
Hope this helps
