For the sake of learning?

I don't mind going to school because alot of the day is spent hanging out with frinds and most teachers make classes fun but one thing that I definitely don't like are the classes we are required to take. Looking at it from an adult's stand point, I am aware that taking a boring class isn't going to hurt me and taking classes I don't particularly like will teach me to try hard at things i don't want to do. This being said I still feel that many classes are wasting my time. Wouldn't it be better if students only took courses that directly helped out their career choices or taught life skills like money management. Speculating in the future, while trying to keep as many career options open as possible, I cannot think of any need for me to be taking Italian class.
