What jobs use math and how do they use it?

Answer 1

I can't think of a single job that did not rely on some mathematical skill, although the range of necessary math competency varies widely. In customer service jobs (think cashier, waitstaff, entry level type jobs), you are handling money, totaling bills and performing other relatively simple add/subtract functions. In most office-type jobs, you will be accounting for budgetary needs (requesting supplies, maintaining budget documents, etc), totaling up your time in various projects or work statuses, etc. Of course, any time you get into construction, engineering or any of the science fields the math intensity shoots upward to include geometry and physics.
