Dear H.A. Mengers,

I went to

http://google.com

and tried searching for these phrases which I think resulted in some good
finds:
    use trig at work
    job uses trig
    trig used in job

I belong to a discussion which is archived on the Math Forum site called
"math-learn" and in March one of the contributors wrote about this very topic.
I don't know if you want to point your students to the archived discussion but
it might give you some ideas to give to them? The one that I am thinking of is
here:

On a light side (from that same discussion) are these Trig Comics:

trigcom.html

(the URL is quite long - take care it is all included)

I hope some of that is useful for you and your students.
