   That's one of those 'in a perfect world' situations. Many people going   
   into University have no idea what they want to do after graduation.   
   Hopefully they figure it out on time to take some courses that will   
   be of use. It's courses like for doctors or lawyers or business where   
   students know exactly what they need to take. And college is generally   
   more for learning a job than a general education, although I guess you   
   can't speak for all students.   
      
      
   DW>Ex: I had to take a class in programming in machine code (the real "it's all   
     >1's and 0's programming).  But I would never do that in my career simply   
     >because it's too expensive for a company to produce software like that.   
      
   I bought University text books on programming and taught myself. I didn't   
   stick with it long enough to get into learning the newer programming   
   langauges though so I became obsolete other than doing it for my own use.   
   But, knowing those basics of programming helps you better understand   
   how computers and software works which is helpful too.   
      
   DW>But no one could explain how the Economics classes would help me in any way.   
      
   Depending on exactly what they were teaching it could be handy just in   
   your everyday life, coping with balancing spending and best ways to   
   save for the things you want or need. There are far too many people   
   out there who can't balance s check book..   B)   
      
   RM> But taking Automotive Repair and Electronics came in handy too..   
      
   DW>Certainly.  But like you said above, we don't know what the future will   
   bring   
     >I took classes in both auto repair and electronics later in life.  But more

   Being able to do a lot of stuff like that was the only way I could   
   afford, early on, my custom motorcycles and muscle cars, and later   
   how to keep an old house I bought fuctioning without having to call   
   a plumber or electrician for every little thing.
