Life Long Learning Wrote:Money often is not an issue. When I was a business major in the 1980's I did not care about having to take art history, sociology, spanish, (Man, Society & Technology course):ack:, etc. The college may think they were important, but not I then nor even now. Some classes just have to be taken, hold your nose, and find an easy instructor if you can! I concentrated my efforts on my major and two minors.
If you're looking to be in management (management is based off the social sciences), then important stuff can be learned in sociology and psychology. My background in the social sciences have made many business courses and tests rather easy for me. Organizational behavior and leadership courses are really just I/O psychology courses. I took Spanish in high school, but never became fluent. I wish I was fluent because it would give me more access to jobs that require or prefer bilingual applicants. When you're licensed as a corrections officer or peace officer in Texas, you have to take a Spanish course or test out. The CEU course is a rather basic one, though. However, I can understand that some people are in fields where they do not need to know Spanish. I do not need college algebra and probably never will. Most occupations don't require the level of math in college algebra to the point that articles have been written on why people have to take it. The overwhelming majority of occupations do not require any of the natural sciences, but I like learning about them out of pure interest. Plus, I have to teach science of addiction classes in my current job, so a background in biology is helpful. Although, my background in biology doesn't get me more pay.
