Why Is Math Crucial To Your Kids' Future?
Job, job and many more jobs.
If you are good in Math, then here are some of the career choices that you can get into: stock broker, research scientist, urban designer, public utilities analyst, population ecologist, foreign exchange trader, estimator, animator, epidemiologist, crypto analyst, statistician, technical writer, market research analyst, quantitative analyst, commodities trader, teacher, air traffic controller, climate analyst, financial aid director, pollster, forensic analyst, appraiser, production manager, banker, underwriter actuary, computer programmer, claims adjuster, benefit administrator, professor, computer software engineer, computer hardware engineer, biomedical engineer, database administrator, network systems and data communication analyst. According to numerous research and studies, biotech and computer related job will be the fastest growing jobs for the next 10 years and they require good math skills. As a matter of fact, currently there is labor shortage for these types of jobs in the U.S. In fact math will come in handy if you are still trying to figure out which career path you choose to pursue because it gives you much more career choices than any other skill sets out there.
Making More Money
Those jobs that require good math skill are highly paid jobs with excellent growth opportunities. Let's take a stab at the 2 fastest growing jobs that require math skill; computer and biotech related jobs. According to a study by CNN.com & Career builder on January 2007, those who work as computer software developer make about $80,000 per year and those who are in biotech related jobs make about $70,000 per year. Yes, that true that some of the computer jobs are outsourced to other low wages countries, but US economy creates even more jobs and bulks of those jobs are not outsourced. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers 2005 salary survey, an average starting salaries for people who have math related degree is about 38% more than those who do not.
Smarter Financial Decision
Outside the classrooms and work places, math can help us to make smarter decision on our daily life activities ranging from shopping, getting credit cards, getting auto loan, filling income tax to choosing the best mortgage. Let’s take a look at the shopping activities. We always want to get the best deals and with today's promotions, discounts, rebates and free shipping, they involve lots of math to figure out the bottom line. Another great example would be comparing mortgage costs and fees such as closing cost, APR, APY, variable rate, 30 year fixed rate, 15 year fixed rate, points and the list go on.
Several studies in the US have indicated that today's students are not particularly keen on mastering math. Therefore, if you want your sons or daughters to make a good living working on those well paid careers, you need to encourage and support them to conquer their fear of math. There are going to be millions of high-paying engineers, scientists and programmers needed in the future and those professions require math skills. Are you convinced yet?
