As a safety professional I use maths in calculating injury data, and as a trainer I use it with students for allocating the amount of hours needed in training schedules.

I am a graphic designer. I work in printed material, signage, web design, screenprinting.. basically everything that involves advertising material. Mathematics is essential in my job from working out photo resolution to scaling up sign sizes.
If for example, someone is selling apartments and wants one of the buildings to be a sales office, decked out with floor to ceiling graphics. I will go in, measure the walls then take those measurements back to my computer. I will draw up the entire room on the computer working at a 10% scale. When I print the graphics, I can not print one big picture the size of the entire wall as the poster material comes in a roll which is at a certain width. I will have to work out how to split the entire picture into tiles or drops which fit onto the roll. They will then be layed onto the wall one at a time and if my calculations are correct, they match together and look like one big picture.
If they then want a brochure to be printed, it may be a size to fit into a particular envelope. When we print the brochure on the printing press, the paper is bigger than the brochure, so I can print more than one page on it. I will work out how many pages of the brochure I can fit onto the large paper that fits on the press. Mathematics are used all day every day in my trade in every instance. It is the most important part of the job.
There is no point in making pretty pictures on the computer screen if I can not then translate it onto the side of a building, a billboard or a business card etc. If I make a sign at the workshop I want to make sure that I can fit it onto the face of the building. Every piece of wood, metal, sheet of plastic and paper etc comes to me in a particular sheet size. This sheet size is not always the size of the finished sign so I need to work out how many sheets are required. These are just a few examples of how a job that is essentially a creative, artistic one, relies heavily on mathematics to make it work.

Mathematics is the language of Science.
So all the professionals who work on science based jobs need to know mathematics to perform their work efficiently. Engineers should know mathematics in order to design things. Chemists should know matermatics to calculate the volumes they need to mix to make a certain material. Scientists need mathematics to calculate the distance to a planet or, to calculate the strength of a material for a design.

I don't because it's a load. Why aren't there more black hockey players. Is it because the NHL is bigots or is it because black people aren't that into hockey? Homogenization does not produce diversity, it destroys it. If you want to help people make sure that opportunities are open to them, but don't inflict the opportunities on people and insist on quotas. It reminds me of the equal representation in sports thing they did with women in college sports. Many men's sports teams died because not enough women could be found who were interested in participating in certain sports, so the schools couldn't make the quota.

As a musician, mathematics enables me to see the patterns and logic contained in every piece of music, as well as play everything accurately through counting and subdividing the beats, bars and phrases.
