As someone who's had to take Calculus as a requirement for my computer science degree, I would recommend that if you don't actually need it in a profession you are in or plan to be in don't waste your time. While it gives you a basis in the theory behind why certain maths are the way they are (like limits and why infinity is not a number), the practical uses of Calculus are extremely limited outside of very specific skill sets (why would someone need to know the area between two curves outside of certain STEM jobs, for example) and generally not worth the headache.
