For practical purposes, a fair comparison would be "a useful amount of programming" vs "A useful amount of math".

You can get hired after a brief boot camp, although it's not common.

A useful amount of math is like, ordinary differential equations in engineering school, since apps have taken over most use cases for simpler math.

The only direct use is to learn to access the "New way of thinking" math people talk about, and even that seems harder than making detailed to do lists.
