For the final paper, I will be writing on the topic why we must go through classes irrelevant to our majors in college. Do we not get enough English, Math, and Science in the first twelve years of our schooling? I find it very boring and it is just more stress than it is worth. I am going into construction management, when will I need to know how to do a logarithm? Also, will I need to know how to diagram a sentence when I am putting up a house? No I will not, so why must I spend time and money on college classes learning these things? General Education I have found to mean, me spending more money on the college itself and not gaining things I am passionate about. I know that the teacher does make all the difference in this matter but I still find it like I am wasting time and money. Learning about drawing up buildings, cost estimation, and different types of soils are why I find interesting. Schools will use the claim that it is a well rounded education for kids and I very much disagree. Its learning things that we do not need to know. What is so special about Pre-Calculus that I have have to devote a semester to it and not remember anything about it. I am a hands on learner and remember things well that I need to use. This is why I have trouble with the fact that kids are paying 20-30 thousand a year and in the first two years do not get many things that they really need. I believe that it could save money and stress if kids could go to a college and learn things that would be needed for their profession instead of using two years to dive in completely to their major.
