Unfortunately, there truly isn't a point to many of the things we do in education, especially at the college level.

I went to college because I wanted to get a job as a high paid software engineer.

And although many of the class that I took, did indeed help me with this goal, many of them that I had to take did not.

It would have been awesome if I could have replaced some of my required classes that weren't particularly useful, with more focused ones on web development, and industry related.
