Would you say the math you learned in high school was useful after you graduated? Was it useful for your career or college or not very important?

Was it really useful or do you think it was pretty insignificant. Like if you go through high school learning very little in your math classes based on your experience would it have been or was it rough if you had been this person that didn't take in much from this particular class?

Knowing math has helped me. I work in medical labs and despite sounding like a career that uses alot of math I really do not.
Now with that being said has it helped me? Yes
Most useful has been Algebra
Sometimes its helpful to calculate a percentage at work or to understand if a test passed by recognizing why my slope looks bad on a comparison report.
I also calculate standard deviations alot but this is all basic stuff and I have computer programs that help me.
Also in general life I use basic math alot running a business.
I wasn't good at advanced math in school because I wasn't taught well and then math keeps building on what you already know.
But Algebra for some reason was easy and I use it today.
