I'm curious what you mean about "demanding a lot more math". I've been doing development for a loooong time, and I very rarely do any math. If anything, front-end requires math sometimes to get the viewport right.
The advice I always give people just starting out is to focus on what you enjoy. If you love making web pages look nice, start with front-end. If you love building crypto contracts, then start there. Don't let what you think will be difficult dissuade you from doing that.
Learned a bit of python tho, but wasn't dedicated enough.
And that of course is the problem, not being sufficiently interested in the topic. That's why I would encourage you to follow your interests first.
Good luck!
