We don’t need all the extra classes to get to 140 college hours. You end up with things like Art Appreciation, etc, just to keep failing departments and teachers in school while generating money. You should be able to get the requirements for Engineering, Computer IT, Business In 60 hours or less. You shouldn’t have to have 12 hours of History , 12 hours of Pol Sci, etc.

I consider my art appreciation class as one of the more valuable classes that I took in college. I enjoyed history, French, German and Geography But I think the sociology and psychology classes were completely worthless.

So true. When I’m hiring an engineer, I want someone technically knowledgeable with the ability to apply that knowledge. I don’t care if they know what a sonnet is or about about some unique cultural aspect of Swaziland.
