This paper describes our original survey of more than 2000 subjects who graduated from the arts and sciences, departments of economics in particular, of three major private universities. We clarify considerable effects of taking college entrance examinations in mathematics on formation of future career path. Particularly, our focus is on benefits of acquiring basic mathematical skills that bring more successful academic achievement and income, in synergy with individually specific fields of knowledge. People with basic mathematical skills get promoted to higher job positions and are even highly advantaged on income at job turnover. By studying mathematics, even negative attributes of parents, educational background and academic achievement are counterbalanced. In other words, a certain level of mathematical knowledge is a vehicle to get out of parents' stratum to attain a more successful life in higher echelons.
