Yes, but not very often. I'm a software engineer, and sometimes it's useful when designing "control loops" -- algorithms which determine how changes in measurements should be used to adjust some controllable item. For example, in a robot arm, if you measure the rate at which the arm is accelerating, that information is important in determining how much force to apply to the arm so that it stops where you want it to stop. For most people who aren't in a math or science-related job, it's rare to have a use outside of school.

At work In programming or analysing data in some form. I do alot of stats so it always ends up creeping in.

Yes, I use it in university. :P I'm also liable to use it if I become a physicist professionally.

Yes. A long time ago I wrote a computer program to help me design flattened pieces to join together to make 3D objects. (Can't remember how well it worked or even if it did. Long time ago. Obviously I haven't used it since.) Also, to calculate the time taken to charge capacitors in timing circuits. Also other electronics / physics related things for fun but it's been a while now.

I'm an idiot. I barely even know what calculus is.
