Funny you should say that! Even if you have the skills coming out of High School/Uni/College, you can easily lose them very quickly in the workplace.
I work as an analyst at an Investment Bank and deal with numbers constantly. Yet recently during a night out, I was unable to add up the tip on the bill for dinner! Why? Well basically, I hadn't used my head to calculate anything for about 10 months!
Anyway, moral of the story - keep using your brain or you'll lose it!
