   It depends on your career and classes.  A class in Internal Engine Combustion   
   Chemistry isn't worth much if you are an electrician.  But a class in soldering   
   would be very useful.   
      
   In college, I took a humanities class in Logic that covered boolean logic.  As   
   a computer scientist, it was a very useful class.  But a chemist wouldn't find   
   much value in it.

   101 courses don't provide job skills.  They either are:   
   1. Weed out courses for students who aren't serious about their major.   
   or   
   2. They provide the knowledge that the next layer of classes builds on to give   
   you job skills.   
      
      
   ... Does "PIRATE" software come with a treasure map?
