Of the classes I took, 40% was a complete waste of my time outside of credits. Most of this was general requirements and the PC garbage. 30% was theory and or/history and related. 10% was polls and related.

Exactly...for me, about 80% of my engineering curriculum was useful stuff, and I could take the meaningful humanities courses without getting herded into 'contemporary lesbian women's issues in the empowerment remodernization movement of contemporary post-Soviet central Asian contemporary affairs."

(You don't know how fun it was to write that)

Not to demean a formal education because the sheepskin is important plus the experience of observing the agenda of schools, but here is a neat quote from Einstein. Paraphrazed:

Your education begins when you have finished school.

There is certainly no substitute for hands-on and immersing yourself in life.

Good luck, future President AVNevis.
