Too bad. I make between $49 and $199 per hour tutoring math.
Sounds very tangible to me

That's the individual rate, I have group rates as well. I'm in the top 1% of tutors in the history of the company. Exceptionally tangible
Sorry, but I can't understand someone who wants to work with IT and doesn't like math.......

agree
but as i see OP doesn't want to work with IT... it just wants to earn the money with it

True,
but he should think that even to count the gains $$$$$ we need math.....
Same here. It's not the math that is important, it is the training you force on yourself to thoroughly understand some concept.
My work was all in the financial institution type businesses. I used my differential equations text book only once. The bank was going to offer "interest compounded continuously" and no one knew what that was and how to program it. I remembered a short part in the book mentioning bacteria growth was compounding continuously. It was the key to programming the interest. All it required was adding two more decimal places to the interest calculation.
So, even if the OP never uses his algebra it sure will help tomorrow or the next day.
Engineering is just applied mathematics so one needs a firm mathematics foundation if one wants to be an engineer.

Do you have a cryptocurrency?
I always thought it the other way around. Math is just the language to describe the thing in your head. I'm not an engineer though, at least not in any formal sense. I do regularly cobble together solutions to solve important problems for others on the fly, though.
So mathematics is just applied engineering? 
I think that's what I said.

For me, IT is those people that implement networks, install and maintain servers and so on; no maths needed. Engineering is another story.
I've programmed for 30 plus years (embedded MCS51 and PIC, linux, windows) and have never needed math except for simple stuff like add, subtract, divide and multiply. Never had a need for logs, sin/cos or, oh horror, differential equations.

My "bête noire" is radians
Using them always makes my head hurt, What's wrong with good old fashioned degrees !

Ref: " What is mathematics? | Live Science "
Mathematics is the science that deals with the logic of shape, quantity and arrangement. Math is all around us, in everything we do. It is the building block for everything in our daily lives, including mobile devices, computers, software, architecture (ancient and modern), art, money, engineering and even sports.
Since the beginning of recorded history, mathematical discovery has been at the forefront of every civilized society, and math has been used by even the most primitive and earliest cultures. The need for math arose because of the increasingly complex demands from societies around the world, which required more advanced mathematical solutions, as outlined by mathematician Raymond L. Wilder in his book "Evolution of Mathematical Concepts" (Dover Publications, 2013).
I love maths and the logic that come with it, it is useful for many engineering projects and sets you apart as well. So something to work on as part of your education

Me too, but recently I've taken an interest in Essential Tremors. I need both DFT and Digital filters, neither of which I can recall anything about from 'the summer of love' time frame. Oh well, back to school.
Unless it is some random useless numbers that don't do anything - ie. a schoolbook

No, we only need to be exceptionally clever with Excel.

A darn good indoctrination in math/The Calculus is helpful, but one simply needs to be fluent, not particularly like it.
