    In high school I never really had any problems with math. Typically I would sleep through the class and I didn't ever do my homework. I'd ace all the tests, so the teachers didn't bother me too much. After Algebra and Geometry I didn't care to take any other math courses because I couldn't find a use for them.

    I've never really met anyone that completed Calculus and had any real world use for it.

    You might be a Redneck if the highest level of math you completed was counting your pinky toe!!

    Can't speak for other industries, but you need calculus for finance. Especially hedging and pricing derivatives.
