According to my parents, and what I have learned so far, is that math is VERY important in life, and is used in many subjects. Sadly though, many of the things learned in algebra, geometry, etc... seem to be too complicated to actually find in a real life situation. If anything, knowing basic math and being resourceful is what you need to be successful. If you come across something that you can't do, search up a calculator that can on google or ask someone who knows what to do. (My mom has a good job working at a university and deals with student registration, and has to crunch numbers a lot. Surprisingly though, she says herself that she remembers very little from college or high school, because she never needed to use it.)
