[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] But kids who learn calculus in HS, get into high-paying, math-oriented STEM careers, which creates income inequality compared to kids who end their math journey with just algebra 2. Doesn't it?[/quote] No. Stem careers are not the most lucrative. Sorry that someone has steered you wrong about that.[/quote] Even lucrative non-STEM careers require strong math skills to be successful.[/quote] The kind of math required for, say, a pipe fitting job which can still support a family (not especially lucrative but not bad) is very different than the kind required to write machine learning algorithms. Same with the kind of math for the most common kind of millionaire in America - a beer distribution company owner.[/quote]
