You clearly are not a multi-drop delivery driver, a chef, a customer service advisor, a nurse, a sales assistant or a barman.
As it happens, I was working in production AND engineering AND finance all at the same time. I will leave you to guess what roles are in the middle of that Venn Diagram, however, that was a while ago when one of my clients was Lehman Brothers. I had deliberately tried to avoid working in the city, so I was reluctant to work with them, however, they hired my intern for mega bucks. That didn't last long though, as we all know! Ah, the shame...
It is precisely because I do the technical roles that others are scared of that I know most people don't need to know maths beyond basic arithmetic.
One huge advantage of this is that I never treat the maths illiterate with condescension. Unlike some I don't sneer at those that are just trying to get by in life or those that have found there is more to life than maths. Condescension is just plain ugly and there is no need for it.
