School is pointless.
Do not let anyone else tell you otherwise. We waste so much of our time in school and for the majority of us, we never use what we learned. Yes, people in the health services fields (doctors, psychiatrists, etc.) do use what they learn in school, but not all of it. What do those people use World History or Algebra for? When you are a Pre-law major in college you have no use in your career for biology or maths in general, but those classes are still required to graduate. An unbelievable amount of money goes into the education system, but it goes to waste on a system that is filled with unnecessary "filler classes" that are taken not as an aid but as a way to meet a school requirement.
A simple solution to this would be to have fewer required general courses, and instead focus more on particular career pathways. If a person is going into a particular field have classes that they would actually benefit from as their required curriculum, not these numerous amounts of "filler classes."
Besides that a degree today in any major does not really hold up as much weight as it used to. Employers today would easily choose a person with experience and an associates degree than a person with a masters and no experience. These degrees that are held to such high standards and praise are not worth the time and effort that is put into them.
It is actually quite sad.
