Not too much.

But I did learn that by getting a college degree, I was able to get the job I wanted.

I think that everything that I was offered to study at the university I in my life, undoubtedly, was useful,
something - at least for general development, and special disciplines for my work activity. It is not necessary to be an excellent student, it is more important that knowledge be firm, the basic concepts are learned. Knowledge is development, it is interesting to communicate with a developed person. All that you have written about what you would like to lay in a child is indisputable, but knowledge is necessary for a person. Even now I have to learn and sometimes ask for help essay writing website when writing letters or articles. Not to know is not a shame, it is a shame when you do nothing and sit in one place.

My history degree has helped me tremendously in setting a proper windshield.

Not, not really. Learning how to deal with worthless people in group projects did way more for me than anything else.

I would say, I use what I learned in my non-verbal communication and organizational communication classes the most. The ability to read someone and the ability to control a group / meeting. My undergrad was Communication Studies with a focus on Communication Advocacy, which included a Communication Ethics class. The Communication Advocacy focus was an excellent "Pre-Law" degree before heading to law school. I had no plans of law school which in undergrad, just so happened to work out.

I believe a enormous gap exists between knowledge obtained in college and real life application, as success often depends on personal qualities and the level of motivation. However, something I value the most about college studies is that now I'm better organized and know exactly the importance of time management. Even though I've been ordering essays for several times from places like this, I do not regret it, as those examples helped me improve my writing skills, which helped me a lot later.

Business law.

It taught me short hand.
Tort law.
Real estate and contract law.

I might not use it everyday, but it is a regular use.

For anyone that majored in finance, accounting, or engineering and works in those respective fields, the answer is a lot.
