Why will Nobody tell (most) College Students that MOST of what they are doing is a WASTE of TIME?

I ask this question because the sentiment is true. Our educational process is seriously defunct in so many ways. It is pathetic. We have reduced education to be some ridiculous silly little game. Students KNOW this but are not supposed to admit that they know it. ALL education should have true and direct value and benefit to the student and to their ultimate goals ...otherwise it is time wasted. Valuable time. I hate the fact that 2nd grade teachers wasted my time teaching me French which I had/have NO use for. 12th grade biology teachers wasted an entire semester teaching me about plants and another teaching about atoms and the molecular structure. I completely memorized the atomic chart ...Completely useless stuff ...for ME. I've taught myself Computer Programming; Graphic Arts; Corporate Law; Speed Reading; Web Design; Book Publishing; Audio Production; Spanish; Forex Trading; Psychology of Combat; Commodities Investing; etc. I am very successful today as a direct result of my independent research and self-education so yes... I believe in education. It is fundamental to life success but our educational system is inadequate and ...again, WASTES a lot of precious time in both elementary school, high school AND college because it subjects students to rote memory expectations rather than truly challenges them with relevant and applicable knowledge. I say ask yourself this simple question about every aspect of your education: HOW will this knowledge ...once I fully grasp it actually BENEFIT me in my life? ...and... WHAT will be the negative consequence on my life if I don't get it or forget it after I've passed the class (as most students will).

1. Because no matter how many times you post this rant, most of college is not a waste of time. Are a few people wasting their time? Sure. Are most of us? Nope. College sounds like a waste of time for you personally. That does not apply to everyone. And self-study in most topics won't get you a job. You need some proof you actually learned something. Just try self-studying medicine or astrophysics and see where that gets you.

3. I agree on the aspect that high school in the last two years should allow students to explore areas of interest that digging them with more stuff they don't like. The first two years can be exposure to areas of different science, literature, math, history, etc. Nothing before that though. Honestly, no pre-teen will know what they want. Most will say typical stuff like astronaut or doctor. After getting exposure, they decide what they want with a better perspective. In college, I can agree somewhat. Like I'm taking some engineering courses not of my taste like digital systems, and I won't ever use it. I think, since they're paying, students should be allowed to decide on general educational requirements. They will be more close-minded by definition by not taking courses outside their majors since their focus will be narrow. Nonetheless, college students should be given that liberty to choose for the most part. Now they cannot jump into a 400 or 500 level engineering or science course without first fulfilling the prerequisite knowledge, which I think should be either done by taking said classes or through a thorough placement test. The educational system is shot in the elementary to high school level in terms of depth of knowledge. People in Ukraine are doing math in 7th grade people here in the States do in 10th grade. A lot has to do with our country's general anti-intellectual stance. The other main problem with college outside of what I outlined above are tuition rates, and the government's ability to pour half a budget into defense but a fraction of that into education and research.
