IS there a job that doesnt involve math, at all?

Cage cleaner in a veterinarian's office.

Writer. Dogwalker. Nun. (Is that a profession?)

that could be one, but i dont know if that job exists. and you would have to know how much cleaning solution to use, what angles your has to go in, to clean the cage most effectivley. Unconcious, but math. Thanks for the idea though.

dog walker might be good, writer (iambic penameter, syllables).

nuns help manage church expenses and such.

thank you.

Theoretically, a cage cleaner might be given a cup, and told to fill the cup with cleaning solution. He would not have to know how much solution is needed.

Fruit picker- (migrant worker) All the person would have to know is that the container had to be filled. He would not have to know any amounts.

thats true, but id have to be specific. You have to turn an apple a ceratin amount of degrees to pick it properly.

Etruscia- I think that your teacher is being too picky. You would not have to know math to pick fruit properly.

If an infant needs to stretch his hand at a certain angle to play with one of those toys that are strung across a crib, would you say that the baby is using math? If you generalize THAT much, then ANY job would involve math, in one way or the other.

my thoughts exactly, but he said hes thought of one. I dont know if hes putting us on a wild goose chase or what. But thanks for your help.

no math? well I'm not sure but I think Bookkeeping doesn't require any math, but you might Check with Roger about that.

I met this guy whose job was to test laxitives. That doesn't require math. Just a lot ****.

coal miner, any lifter mover of things by physical force that works in a freight industry, like lifting packaging ont a converyor belt, assembly line worker, um president of the united states, politician, its a profession and you would not need math for it at all, by definition of the profession which is to listen to the needs of the people and voice their needs to the the government

I think you have to define "math" and "job" first. I mean, I wouldn't consider using angles to clean a cage be to "math," at least not in the sense you probably mean, since I could do that without any formal training in the subject, and unless I miss my guess the point here was to prove that everyone needs the formal training. On the other hand, I did indeed once work at a cat show cleaning cages in the manner described for about 3 days, and getting paid whatever to do a job for 3 days, doesn't really seem like a "job" to me, per se.

But there are certainly a lot of real jobs that don't require formal training in math, though I'm sure you can make up some bogus reason why they involve some math, as with the agles above. You could argue that just by moving you have to take into account speed and velocity and mass and so forth, and thus doing anything requires some paltry amount of math.

Sandwich-man?

Prostitute...

(before you say handling bills, the pimp does that). The one argument I can think of against prostitutes is if they're a catholic and practice the rhythym birth control method.

Sleep research medical test subject.
Heroine tester for drug dealer.
Translater.
Conceptual artist.
Chaolin monk.
Riding horse (no one specified human professions).

-Some joke ones-
Microsoft programmer.
Christian science researcher.
Economist.



That was fun.

And why not a mat teacher?

But I insist on the sandwich-man.

As rufio said, you'd have to clarify what is "math". In most cases a job means being someplace at a set time. Calculating when you need to be there is using math. Calculating how many more hours you have to work that day is math. Even getting to the job requires math (i.e. that migrant fruit picker the Phoenix mentioned would need to figure out which tree to go pick from. 3rd one on the left or 4th on the right? They'd have to count to get there.)

These are all extremely basic math calculations but since your teacher included the caveat that "Even if they do it unconciously, it is still math" they could still apply.

I can't think of any where there would be absolutely no math. If they are referring to higher level math then there are probably some very low level type jobs that could slide in.

Translator? Language is all math - anyone who uses language, uses math, whatever your definition of it is.

On another note, when I actually had a job, driving to work involved actually involved a fair amount of math, in estimating how much gas I would burn, and when I would next have to get gas, and which was the cheapest, closest gas station. But you don't really get paid for driving to work.... I also find myself rationing minutes like I ration gallons throughout the day, no matter what I'm doing. A lot of help that does though, I usually wind up procrastinating.

A proffessional math teacher annoyer.

A person hired, to work for an undisclosed ammount of money for an undisclosed ammount of time to remain relatively motionless and asleep to prove a point to a math teacher who's such a dick he deliberately constructs a challenge that's impossible to win because of a "shifting the goalposts" falacy based on the kind of ludicrous definition of mathematics that would be entirely impracticable within the real world.
