People learn math so that they can learn more math. If you don’t want to use math in your day to day life then don’t learn math, there are ways around it. There are probably non-calculus ways to explain and do things such that in a “real job” you won’t need to use calculus. Eg MRI machines use Fourier transform, but a technician doesn’t need to know that. However, if the goal is to learn more math, connect broad concepts, and extend math concepts, then basic fundamentals like calculus is essential. So in terms of being a pure “technician”, you can get away from no calculus. If you want to know why things work and how to extend abstract concepts beyond their use case, then calculus is a fundamental tool.
