>>12071045if you really want to do math then go do it. see if you can segway from your community college to a better school. research universities, their curriculum, and their faculty and the resources they have adn see how that might fit into your budget. then if you want go to school there, but don't stop working with the course assignments. chances are that considering your interest and language you seem like your enthusiasm and existing intelligence should afford you to breeze through most of the assingments your professors hand out
use this extra time to go to office hours and talk to your professors, who will be cumming (squirting if ladies) with joy that an undergrad wants to learn more than the bare minimum. ask them for further reading materials (of actual substance and much more interesting than the textbook shit you have to do for a grade) and directions in where to look for expanding your knowledge and interests
talking to a qualified expert at any college will save you years of searching for the good stuff and their tutelage will accelerate your abilities
if you find you really really really love this stuff then aggressively (not rudely) seek research opportunities with your professors. if you show immense interest, do well on the assignments, and continually occupy their otherwise uneventful office hours with conversation about the field they love then they will enthusiastically help you
if you want to go further then this, then take comfort in the fact that where you went for undergrad literally does not matter when it comes to entering academia. it's where you go to graduate school(sometimes) and PhD (every time). if you load your CV up with research experience, internships, and presenting papers at conferences then grad and PhD programs will look at your applicatiosn with great interest and offer you more fellowship money
but be sure to talk to as many professors and figures in your life as possible. get connected to actual people inthefield
