My daughter is minoring in Ancient Greek...I asked her “Will this help you on your MCAT verbals? Does it help you understand English better? Will you be able to go to Greece and speak with the natives? Is this useful AT ALL in the modern world?” Nope, nope, nope, and nope.

But she thinks it’s cool she can read the gospels in the original language.
