Calculus. I used it once on purpose because I wanted to see how complicated I could make a simple solution to a simple issue for a presentation I got tasked with that I didn’t want to make.

I never got asked again to make a presentation. I got promoted though… which was weird.

I have a BA in history with minors in African American studies and sociology.

So I haven’t used any classes.

I would think you use it often without realizing it, given the many biochemical reactions in the human body that would otherwise be more of a mystery.

Wut?


I am so ADHD that I always had to use graph paper for math in elementary and high school. LSU did not allow students to use graph paper when doing math so I would always get shite mixed up. It was not until right before the final for physics 2 that made my tutor said "You know you can get an accomdation to use graph paper, right?

Nicholls Nursing 360...Human Sexuality


Oh that is BS. Nurses are sluts so that class is probably used on an almost daily basis.

I had a business minor, which the classes I took for that were good. But, I had to take a management class that was specific to my major and it should have been called micromanagement. It was the most outdated, ridiculous nonsense that I could ever imagine. I have used zero from that class because it was just ridiculous. As an example, one lesson we learned was about employee efficiency, and how to provide guidance to your employees about how they could be more efficient. In order to gather information on how they could be more efficient, it was suggested to stand over your employee while they work and study their arm and hand motions to determine if they could move their limbs more efficiently…

Undergrad should be 3 years with more classes in your major.

I’d also reduce the cost of college by 25%.

I majored in finance and there's very little I learned that couldn't just as easily have been learned in on the job training.

Income Taxes (accounting degree). Because nothing about income taxes is logical or makes sense. It was memorizing various laws and numbers that are outdated the very next year. I did more bond amortization calculations in my job as a public auditor than I did Income Taxes. My own income taxes are done using software that walks me through it.

Engineering is full of Calculus in engineering classes, on top of 4 semesters of straight Calculus. I never used it once in my career.

Same, and the same applies to any of those classes that used calculus as a prerequisite, from Differential Equations to the EE cut class, Linear Circuit Analysis.

Trigonometry. Nothing in my profession requires anything beyond simple division or multiplication to calculate slopes, volumes or areas.

I tried to avoid Trig by taking a Logic class for an equivalency credit. That backfired. I was confused for three weeks before I dropped the class.

Social Dancing.

Counted as a PE class and I was hoping there would be some hot women there. They were all cows.
