I always thought I hated math all through high school and college, even though I was really good at it, because I was an artist and I thought math was pretty much the opposite.  I went on to become a professional knitwear designer, using all my art education in my career, but also using math every day! Algebra is a huge part of knit design, and I love it!  Writing patterns is like solving math puzzles, which I totally nerd out about.  Never would have guessed I'd end up doing math in my career when I was in high school!
