It probably is relevant if you are in certain professions. My math teacher always made it sound like we would need algebra and geometry to survive daily life. I have never needed a compass and protractor even once since high school.

Algebra is relevant. It teaches you to think through a problem and use a logical approach to solving problems...not just math problems. We use some algebra when determining the steepness of a road. I think this is very important...especially when roads are built in mountainous regions.
