<p>I am a physician, and at one time in my life, Calculus seemed so important. So did Organic Chemnistry. I gave up alot to be sure my schedule included enough of both. Although I have to admit that I had no opportunity to do calculus in high school. And 25+ years later, the Calculus and the Organic Chemistry are long since forgotten. To this day I am still not certain of their significance other than 1) I had to take them and do well, 2) they were important in doing well on the MCAT's. Once I got into med school, I used little Organic Chemistry and even less Calculus. And having been in practice for many years, I cannot remember when they were last of much value to me. In medicine, there is the science of medicine and the art of medicine. I graduated from college and then from med school with only the concept of the science of medicine. It was not until many years later that I truly understood the art of medicine. And the art has taken me farther than the science. </p>
<p>I say--go for the Directing/Acting. You have plenty of time for Calculus. GO virtual or community college. Go with your heart. There is time for Calculus.</p>
