True, I just had a conversation with a moron in one of my classes about this. He as like oh why do I have to take business law, accounting and a bunch of other subjects. Granted he was a management major and a dumb one at that. Anyway I was like I have been in business for a few years now and I think business law and accounting are some of the most usefull subjects you can take. I told him once you have some real world experiance you will see that.
I think a big problem is that people who don't belong in school go their, because thats the path society says they should take. A lot of people like the above mentioned guy need a few years in the real world to mature before going to college.
