One of the major employers of coders in the US is the US government via NASA and the military (think jobs that can't be outsourced because of security restrictions). Where I work I use algebra and linear algebra on a pretty regular basis and I have used calc, stat, and diff eq on more than one occassion. If you want to guide a missle,simulate a satellite,do advanced data mining,figure out the worst case run time of the algorithm you just implemented on a real-time system, etc, etc, etc math is a must.
In addition think of sociology, engineering, physics, etc. All require a good grasp of math.
