re: Blow-off Humanities or Social Science electives

why?
I already went to high school where I had to take history, and likely some other silly electives.
College is supposed to prepare me for my profession. Why do I need to be an expert about a specific piece of history, or a specific piece of religion, or know the difference between different periods of music to be a better engineer?
I'm going to school to be an engineer. Don't force me to pick some dumb arse elective to learn about. If I want to learn about something other than engineering, I can do that myself.
I don't know any engineer that I went to school with that gave the slightest bit of attention to any of those electives. We all did the minimum required to get at least a B in those classes. They were so unimportant to me I can't even remember most of them that I took. I know I took a history and a religion class, but couldn't tell you specifically what history or religion it was.
