As my elder brother (who is an engineer) points out, the amount of math you have take for a given degree is often directly proportional to the income potential you’ll have after you graduate. Math is the underpinning of the sciences, medicine, and business, and plays a role in a lot of other fields - psychology has its statistics classes, the school of architecture at my alma mater had a killer “structures” class, etc.

If anything, we need more math in college. And I say that as someone who, frankly, struggled in the subject at times.

I struggled with math for decades, until I homeschooled my kids through the Saxon Math curriculum. THEN it finally made sense.

The right curriculum is essential for success in math.
