Taking math courses matters.  Research studies have established that the more math classes students take, the higher their earnings 10 years later, with advanced math courses predicting an increase in salary as high as 19.5% ten years after high school.  Research has also found that students who take advanced math classes learn ways of working and thinking - especially learning to reason and be logical - that make them more productive in their jobs.  Students taking advanced math learn how to approach mathematical situations so that once they are employed, they are promoted to more demanding and more highly paid positions than those who do not take math to advanced levels (Rose & Betts, 2004).
