I made an account just to upvote this. I think it also leads to the possibility that even if the authors simplistic conjecture that ~10% of MIT graduates actually use math, potentially this number (10%) doesn't vary with tremendously with the number of people taught. I.e. If we teach 100 people math, 10 use it but if we teach 10,000, 1,000 will. I'm in a profession where using higher level math is highly, highly encouraged although avoidable. It is incredible to see CMU level grads not taking advantage of their education. I think this leads me to believe that the application of math is more of a personal choice (do you desire to be helpful and add vale) than skill-based.
