I hate it when people talk about this bullshit about how what
they learn now can be relevant to their future. Well, here's my dua
sen on the subjects you hate, Amos:
Chinese: How are you going to communicate with
clients from PRC?
Geography: How are you going to understand
global warming? Or how to prevent tsunamis from causing so much
damage again?
History: How do you learn from the lessons of
the past and prevent the next Hitler from coming to power?
Design and Technology: How do you think
mechanical engineers design and manufacture the consumer goods that
you're using?
Food and Nutrition: How do you know which food
is healthy for you and which food isn't?
Bloody hell.....
