I don't use mathematics at all, yet I have to take a graduate entrance exam tomorrow with a hard math section. Did I ever need to care about sets or permutations in ANY SINGLE FUCKING CLASS IN COLLEGE? IN ANY SITUATION IN REAL LIFE? Have I even THOUGHT about shapes or angles since high school!?
They said "no no, you'll use math in real life and in your career, and you at least need it in education."

HAHAHHAHA
Oh, I believed them. I should have believed my friends who complained that they'd never see this stuff again as long as they lived. The proof is in that I went from someone who passed the AP Calculus exam to one who cannot even figure out the length of a triangle side, let alone give a flying damn about it. Shows how much I've used mathematics.
