Going through college I'd always joke that "the math is the easy part"

Isn't that true for most workplaces though? You'll end up using some tool that automates much of the heavy lifting and a lot will be meetings and managerial tasks anyways. When you design products you usually have engineers of many different fields that need to work together so lots of it is just talking about how to get it to work together.

For any applied math jobs, which is probably IT related you'll have the same issue.

Whether or not you're right about engineers other than your husband in particular, its probably true that "math" has more math, yeah 😄

Personally I preferred English classes to math classes because they had more English and less math.
