Math in any job is very critical. Oh, when I was in high school I thought, well, let me just get through these classes because they're not going to have any relationship to what I'm going to do out in the real world. And obviously, I found that to be a big discrepancy of what I thought before and the way it relates to my job now.
I can't emphasize enough how much you might not think it's important at that particular time while you're in school, but anything you do, even fast food, you have to work on a cash register. You have to learn how to count. You have to be very, very quick on a cash register with customers. Even though the cash register tells you how much change to give, you still should practice those math skills because you have to be quicker almost than a machine or at least as quick as a machine.
You have to know -- everything is based on what your previous day's business is. Even in fast food you know what your customer count is, you know what your hourly rate is, you know based on your hourly rate you have to divide that by how much you think you're going to get, like your dollars by hour, and then you have to know how much you're going to cook up ahead of time or cook up while you're having that customer rush. It's just like what we do here. We calculate to every 30 minutes . . . how many monitors we can output every 30 minutes.
