<p>Times are changing! In the modern world of Big Data, marketing is becoming more and more based on statistics. I would encourage your son to take statistics and trigonometry in high school to get ready for college. Whether or not he will use trigonometry later on in life is beside the point. He needs to develop quantitative skills to prepare for the future. It is easier to develop these skills in high school than in college.</p>
