CPA! That would make great use of some of the bizarre equations I see my son
working with. I wonder where the math whiz would go after he/she grew bored
with being a CPA. After all, the other places you've mentioned could absorb
maybe 1% of the teachers you believe should stop teaching after some period
of time.

The bizarre equasions are assigned to teach the mechanics of
manipulating numbers. Those same skills can be used for other complex
thought processes. A person with this level of thinking can be an
excellent engineer and that is a job we import because we are not
making enough of our own.

But now you're giving the type of nebulous answer that was objected to in
the first place. It's not fair to say this math topic is needed so you can
use it for higher math (even though it's a fact).
