Most careers in trades, engineering, and even business require at the very least a highschool background in chemistry.
Why business I dont know, but I would need it apparently.

Some jobs like general knowledge above only being able to use a calculator for the most basic of equations, they like people who are at least capable of producing their own solutions to problems.

Not everyone is book smart. Not all jobs require much intelligence either. Physical labor. That's what I'm interested in and I've never been needed to use more than addition or subtraction for what length of rope I need. Even then it was rough estimating. In class I feel like I could be learning more about physical labor stuff or life lessons like mortgages, car insurance, taxes and stuff like that. However I'm learning math that I'll most likely never use.
General:
You're not gonna be using maths at all in physical labour? Trust me, there are at least measurements involved there...
Besides, the current consensus is that kids should stay in school until they're old enough to be mentally capable to make a decision. Once you're old enough (16) you're free to leave.
