"level of Calculus" is not very deep, Calculus is a first year college math course at best, most who study stem take it already in high school, it is hard to get much shallower than that and still call it a college course.

one could say Kant isn't very deep either, you study in your first year philosophy. but few STEM students know about it.

Unlike Kant, knowing calculus will help you with balancing books. (And many other useful real world stuff.)

If you want to add something useful to the mix, try law, ethics (technically a subset of philosophy), logic (as analysis and rationality, manipulation) and acting. Group work can be exercised in any field, therefore including basic management.

I did basic accounting without needing any calculus. In fact I only used calculus after trying some machine learning. 90% of the population doesn't use calculus in their life.

How? I can see how calculus is used in quantitative finance, but double-entry bookkeeping predates the invention of calculus.
