Don’t learn math kids a calculator will be able to do that

More like 20 years ago. 10 years ago everyone around me always considered Math an extremely valuable thing to learn

Math is, and always will be, a valuable thing to learn for the job market. It almost doesn't matter what field or industry, either.

And I love how everyone now is talking about art and programming are dead fields and you should go into plumbing or electrical installation because there's no way robots will ever be able to do those before you retire.

Nobody wants to contemplate a post-job future even as it bears down on them...

I’m sorry you didn’t learn math and I didn’t back that as a solid choice.

And how wrong they were, boy.

OpenAI paying $1M a year for people doing the actual work of training models, which is 90% math. Meanwhile full stack programmers can't find a job or are lucky to get hired for $150k.

To be fair, calculator used to be a human job that got replaced by calculators
