Great question!
I think math is equally as valuable in your professional life as in your personal life. As a consultant for the Florida penal system, I use math everyday. Even when I was in customer service or as a guard, it was still absolutely vital for me to be proficient in math. Math, in education, has a very similar purpose as music and athletics....... To improve your brain's ability to process. If you were a computer, think of Math, Music, and Sports as the hardware, and your other classes as the software, or the information that your computer will use.
Personal Examples:
Discussing interest rates for a loan with a sales person or realtor.
Considering a job offer.
Shopping.
Budgeting.
Professional Examples:
Allocating resources for a project.
Planning a team event.
Reporting.

practical use of math in daily life is counting!
simple counting like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
adding no. is faster than counting them all over. 5+5=10 or 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
mutiplying is extending the aplication of addition say 5pcs by 5 rows.
5x5=25 or
5+5+5+5+5=25 or
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25!
simple as that!

i used to think that until i got a proper job. Yes - about 75% of what you do in a job will be arithmetic but i have also had reason to use quadratic equations and my fiancee has just be handed a whole load of statistical work using things like Standard Deviation that we both thought we had seen the last of! Since i started my job i have used the following: -arithmetic -fractions -ratios -nested equations -quadratic equations -probability And i wouldn't even call my job math based. The fact is, money involves maths, the better you are at it, the further you will get. Many a meeting i have sat in where i have been asked "what will x cost" - if you have to get the calculator out you don't look as good as the guy who just did the whole thing in his head, added his percentage cut on top and spat out the answer. When i was at school i asked my teacher this all the time and she could never answer it (maths teachers can't because they rarely live in the real world(!)) - but the one thing i would say if could go back to my former self is "this is important and you will use a lot of it"

This computer that you ask this question would not be designed if it was not for mathematics, neither we would still be sitting in cold huts around the fire. Notice that the true scientific breakthroughs did not happen until discovery of Calculus by Sir Isaac Newton. So in other words anything that moves(and is man made was possible due to math), as well as everything else that uses electricity.

Some say mathematics is branch of science, but in my view science is branch of mathematics. Behind every thing in the universe, every creation of mother nature there is mathematics. Human kind discovers the laws of the Nature and does not create anything new. Even human being is based on Mathematics. Unless there is deformity, everyone has two eyes, 2 ears, 2 hands, 2 legs etc.etc. and it is applicable to each and everything you may imagine. It is like 'Rom Rom me Ram'.

You start the use of mathematics when you wake up in the morning and see the clock.You continue calculating, evaluating,and estimating whole day,this is all mathematics

Mathematics helps our brain to grow into analytical type . Whenever a difficulty arrives, our analytical brain helps us to solve it by steps by building proper team of persons around us.. This gives us joy and we are not feeling helpless with any kind of difficulty.

I often find that I have to use recipes with a different amount of serves than is on the package. Math helps me scale the amount of ingredient that I use.

everything we do in our daily life
physics, chemistry, biology and social sciences
now take calculus and apply it to one of the subjects and look at your life to relate them
