I hate math. But damn... converting decimals to fractions is about as easy as it gets. I know that's small consolation... but I just wanted to be an ass. :thumbsup:
Welcome to WTF.com (That's not a decimal, it's part of the URL).
And about not using any of the shit they teach, you're 100% right... if you want a minimum wage job forever. I worked as an intern making $6.75 an hour, and the only math I used was for my paycheck. Sure, it's a gravy train, but you can't support a family on that. Sure, some of the more specialized stuff (matrices, etc) are only used if you're a huge nerd, but in most fields, all of your core subjects are important.
Anywho, good luck in math. A good quote to remember is Albert Einstein's: "Rest easy. Whatever your troubles in Mathematics may be, I can assure you that mine are still greater."
