About half the classes I took in 4 years of college were useless.

Absolutely, so the uni could take more of your $ and pat you on the head.

“About half the classes I took in 4 years of college were useless.”

Part of what college is all about is learning which subjects or tasks you enjoy and which ones you have a talent for. Very few college graduates work in the field they thought they would when they were freshmen. It’s certainly true that, in retrospect, many college courses I took have had little direct applicability to my career. And some courses that seemed “useless” at the time (in my case, statistics) later turn out to be indispensable on the job.
