Math is a very important subject.  Perhaps one of the most important.  In many careers it is essential, and I would argue in all careers it is useful.  In everyday life you need math.  From balancing a checkbook to figuring out deductions on your taxes to deciding which set of toilet paper is a better sale.  You can live life without math but it's easier and better with it.  Math is also needed for most science and technology fields.  Even many trades need math.  Plus, it's fun to learn.
