[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it's foundational for a number of high-level career paths, including engineering, medicine, and applied sciences.[/quote] Plus general aspects of life - balancing your check book (or account), working out a budget, understanding how much you're spending in Bloomingdales on frippery, etc etc etc[/quote] ??? Who balances a checkbook anymore? Who even uses one regularly? I do 99% online except the mortgage as we pay extra in the principle. Everything else goes on a credit card we pay off monthly. Math at school never taught me money management.[/quote] You don't need to be taught these things - if you've received a good education you should be able to figure out these kinds of things for yourself.
