I sure as hell didn't need, English 101, Rocks for Jocks, Philosophy 101...and all those other mandatory garbage courses for idiots.

And the other "occupation type" courses were supportive but not practical.

We need trade colleges or work/college programs.

I watched a debate on PBS with Charles Murray (trying to find a link), in which he argued that very thing. Most college degrees (bachelors) are basically worthless, and the time and money would be much better spent on direct occupationally related trade degree programs.
