I took calc 1 and stats 1 & 2. Much preferred the stats and it set me up for understanding all kinds of science lingo in articles and papers. I also indirectly use stats fairly often at work.
There are different types of stats. I took a stats course in my grad engineering program. Not being the best person at math I think I probably struggled with the math sufficiently to get distracted from the concepts. When I breezed through a stats course when getting an MBA I understood the concepts much better--though the professor was almost certainly better as well.
