Math in careers
My chemistry class started a discussion a few days ago on math in careers. It would seem that most of the class (the ten girls--all four guys are on a FIRST team and three of them are on CD) does not like math and would like to choose a career where math is not used. The teacher dealt with several careers, but I would like to go farther and show that most, if not all careers involve math in some way.
Here is my request: I want a career, not necessarily engineering/science related, and what math is used. I particularly want careers that require a college degree, or that you would not think of as having math involved. (e.g. lawyer, farmer, doctor, you name it.)
BTW, I was not assigned this by the teacher. I assigned it to myself.
