This discussion raises mind killer flags for me. Just a warning to those caught in it.
Also, there are people who can do without trig? To me that seems among the most concretely usable math there is in all kinds of situations. if you have to measure any distances or angles you can't do without it and I can't think of many things where you can do without that outside of compsci.
Economics has calculus all over the place, but trig much more rarely.
I've used trig in my adult life so far exactly twice. I felt awesome for having used it, then a little sad that years of schooling was justified by two brief moments.
