My point is really referring to all the careers that are not involved in STEM day to day. A lawyer, banker, doctor, artist, etc. The list is endless really do not need the normal upper level math classes, never mind, the calc I - III that kids are taking to get into an Ivy League but will never need once they are out.
All that time could have been spent on courses to help a student understand where their passions may lay.
In some parts of a CS program, I agree, upper level math is useful, i.e. Algorithms. That said, in a 30 year career at DEC, Oracle, and IBM, I have never used Calc. (although, there are several dept’s that obviously do they are just not the majority of the workforce.)
As an unschooling dad, I have come to believe you take a course or subject matter to enable your learning objective not the other way around. Just my $.02
