Sorry Turner
I'm officially a carpenter and that means I use Geometry a lot which tends to go hand in hand with Algebra
I'm a Model Engineer by choice of hobby and that means I use a lot of Algebra to work out where things should go and how thick they should be
Your Bocks wouldn't exist without Algebra
As for Jobs that use it your teacher must be thick if he couldn't mention at least the following
Most Engineers, Machinest, Any form of Design Technician , most people working in Statistics, Many Scientists, Architect, Draftsman, Aircraft designers, Pilots, Ships Navigator, Spaceman
and many more
You might notice that most of the jobs are high paid
If you look on algebra as a problem solving tool you will find it very useful
I have no qualifications due to a hickup in my last year of education (except a woodwork cse) and am self taught in a lot of things
Maths is one that I really wish I had paid more attention as most of the people that I know that have retired early due to earning a lot of money are good with things like algebra
I know bocking is more fun but think ahead
If you get a good education and through that a good job you will be able to spend more time bocking instead of doing overtime to make ends meet
Yours working to hard
