My opinion from 50+ years of various job requirements: Learn math up to two years of algebra and learn to read and write coherently: you can accomplish anything you set out to do. I tell this to nieces and nephews of various ages and their kids. I’m only 68 but have seen / done lots of different things, mostly technical in nature.

Retired earning a six-figure income with a GED, a willingness to learn new stuff, and insane curiosity. Same pay scale as the folks with papers.

Off Topic: Nice thing about age: I can sit down with the nieces / nephews and we can *all* have a beer while trading stories.

Except for only 1 year of algebra, I did the same. Then joined the Navy, learned leadership skills, took over a small company and retired around 50. Unless you are going into certain sciences, writing skills are most important. They will get you in the door.
