I certainly learned a lot of mathematics at university that I probably wouldn’t have learned without it. Perhaps more importantly was some amount of mathematical maturity. The former has probably not been that useful in my career (idk maybe some linear algebra?) and the latter maybe a little bit, but if one were trying to figure out the optimal things to learn for my job, they probably wouldn’t have been what I studied.
