Why must "college level" be uniform in all subjects for all students? Vast majority of math (algebra, calculus etc) are of little use in most careers (even quantitative ones). So why must the society strive for equal outcome in a subject that is of questionable use? Why not prepare kids instead for something thats actually useful for a job?

Then, make clear the mapping between the broad job areas and the needed skills. This may at least provide motivation and context for the regular subjects. The down side is that folks don't know what they like until college and often much after that. So I also feel some reservation about this approach. All in all, my feeble understanding of this subject does not really allow me to take an informed position.
