Reply #78: I had to take two years of algebra to graduate high school [View All]

Algebra and statistics are a requirement for my major now.

You use algebra more than you think you do.

Edited to add: Also, I think basic knowledge of algebra comes in handy when trying to work with formulas in Excel. Heck for a college student to make an easy Excel spreadsheet with their grades to find out what they need on that last assignment to get an A or just pass the class is pretty important. Or knowing the basic formula to work that out long hand.
