There was a letter to the editor (remember those?) from a graduate of North Texas State University with a bachelor’s degree in history who was furious that the only thing of any use coming out of four years of hard work was that he learned how to type.
In junior high school (remember those?) I never got the hang of geometry and was consigned to the math-averse courses of business administration instead.
In later years, I excelled in algebra and, to my knowledge, had zero use for geometry in my life. But the business courses led me to pursue business and accounting, which became an integral part of my career.
Yay for the sweat-hogs.
Me and algebra never, ever mixed.
The only F I ever made in high school. A and B student otherwise without touching a book usually.
