Why Did We Go To School?

Chris has an interesting rant about how we spend a pile of time (and money, in some cases) learning things in college that we’ll never use in real life. So is Chris using his noggin?:

Biology- have I ever had to dissect a frog in day-to-day activities at work? Nope. I guess there’s that pesky thing called mold causing damage these days, but I’m still not sure if biology class really helped me understand it more.

Chemistry- I’m sure if you’re a budding terrorist then, you probably want to slap me silly for dissing the mysteries of chemical X. Okay, there’s that galvanized nail thing on copper flashing that I can mention. I guess the chems are a good thing to know.

Why Did We Go To School? I ask myself this very same question every day 😛

I dropped out of college and I make a lot more money than most of my friends who graduated. Gotta love the dot com industry!

I’m still in school and I have to agree. They sure do teach us a lot of stuff we’ll never EVER use again. I mean when am I going to use Trig or how to write an Interior Monologue in real life?
