My thoughts on this may not be helpful at all because I really enjoyed math. I treated algebra problems like puzzles (like AzTheta), and I've always been a fan of puzzles/games. I am a philosophy teacher. While I rarely use math-proper in my daily professional life, I certainly benefit from the logic skills I learned in math. Doing algebra problems (and later, geometry and trig) forced my brain to practice applying specific rules in specific situations. I know that having a solid background in math strengthened my ability to understand symbolic logic, and I certainly use symbolic logic professionally.
