[quote=Anonymous]PP college professor here. I have many former students as well as friends/peers who did not at all take to the standard sequence of math courses in high school and college and majored in humanities and other mathless/math-light subjects...and then later discovered career paths in which math was helpful, whether in the social sciences, marketing, various professional fields, computer-related fields. When a serious interest was driving them, as opposed to the kind of requirement-fulfilling courses they hated when they were in their teens, they successfully took what they needed later on and did fine, and are flourishing in their professions. It doesn't all need to happen in lockstep in late adolescence. One can become a motivated and efficient learner of less-attractive subjects when one is a bit older. College kids should have a chance to find parts of the curriculum they can flourish in.[/quote]
