It's not a matter of whether or not connecting a front end to a db requires math. Of course it doesn't. But, if you don't take the classes that torture your brain into building new pathways (the way advanced math courses will do), then you really will be a shit programmer and the other programmers you work with will hate you. Take music classes, too. The more ways you learn to integrate information, the better programmer you will be. And, if you find out that programming for a living makes you sick, you'll be well-rounded enough to do something else. Or, if you find yourself laid off, you'll be able to find a job instead of whining about jobs going overseas. So, yeah, take econ courses, too, so you understand why jobs move. It's math with currency units. Also, you'll be less boring when I meet you at the next GeekConfab3000.
