I think calculus gets a bad rap because it is drastically different conceptually than algebra, yet also requires a super solid grasp of algebra. I think calc is right where mathematics starts to get really interesting.
Right now i'm on track for a bachelors in M.E. (hopefully), but occasionally i think i might be better off mentally just going for a math degree. The only difference for me is that having a good paying job right out of school is nearly certain with m.e. while having a good paying job right out of school is less certain with a math degree.
