The Last Poster Wins! [v20]

I sure don't miss school. I still have nightmares about missing entire semesters worth of classes out of pure carelessness. I've had my MBA for years, but in dreamland, I was supposed to be attending Calculus AP of Death and Misery classes six months ago and totally forgot about them. I have NEVER done that in real life, but in my dreams, it's like I was goofing off all semester.

Also, the good news is in graduate school, you only take classes that pertain to what you're majoring in. No useless electives. So unless you're majoring in mathematics (I would seriously rather shoot myself in the foot, no joke), you don't have to deal with that crap a second time. Heck, the only math classes involved in business school are mostly statistics and accounting, and as long as you keep on top of them and do the necessary work and studying, they're pretty reasonable and easier to wrap your mind around than Calculus garbage.

I just don't understand why schools are so feverish to teach near-useless stuff like Algebra/Calculus, but they don't teach students about mortgages, investing, personal finances/budgeting, and the real life stuff they WILL need.
