"Do I need this for my future?"

022014

Whenever we come across a lesson that seems utterly boring and not fun, I always say, "Am I ever going to use this?" or "Do I need this for my future?" And I think many students think the same thing.  But, apparently MANY students do, which is why a group of mathematicians have created a website called weusemath.org  This is where I found a video on why they believe math is really important.

The video is narrated by a few people who majored in math and ended up in various jobs.  Professors, scientists, analysts, and many other jobs use math within their works.  In addition, the video also talks about how majoring in math is a good basis for any job!  You have various amounts of options to choose from.  But, I realized that these people have a real hard-core passion for math.  One man even said that everyday he is excited to go to work and he has a big smile on his face.  I definitely can see why math can be a good use to many jobs out there, but I don't think I have the passion or love for math to have it as a job. #sorrynotsorry
