I mean, to some degree … yes. Day to day, I do very little math … if it’s trivial I do it in my head if it’s more than a few digits, I just ask a calculator… because I always have one and it’s not going to forget to carry the 1 or w/e.
You’re not going to college level math to do basic calculations. You’re going to college level math because you need to learn how to actually fully understand and apply mathematical concepts.
I hear this all the time that there’s some profound mathematical concept that I had to go to college to learn … what exactly is that lesson? What math lessons have changed your life specifically?
Also the comment I was replying to was about doing math. Mathematical “concepts” aren’t exactly “doing math.”
Honestly, if you have to ask, you’ll never know. You’re just not emotionally invested in the real world and if you were, you’d see the value of high-level math everywhere. But you don’t, and that’s entirely your fault. No one is going to inspire you for you.

Long division, I’ve totally forgotten.
Basic algebra, yeah I still use that.
Trig? Nah. Calc? Nah.
