What's the most pointless and useless course/subject you've taken so far?

Ever regretted taking a subject that you can't use on real life? Or had to take it because... well, because you were required to? I'm learning C++ (computing) in a civil engineering course. Every veteran I've talked with told me it's pointless. I don't mind having it, but it's a real pain in ***...

My cultural and folk dancing lessons were quite pointless and useless. Now that I am working seems nothing can be applied. Though I learned dancing skills during my college days that was more of physical exercise :-)

It's hard to say... probably either Computers in Agriculture (the teacher could barely use a computer) or more likely the course I'm currently taking, Meat Science. When is knowing about meat ever going to come in handy for me? I'm a vegan.

Nobody can direct your career. Maybe the skill you learned is useless right now, Can you conclude you don't have chance to use it in the future? What is your life in 5 years? Take it easy. You don't need to regret. The only thing you should do is to study as hard as possible. Make sure you don't regret that.

Similarly, I took a Computer Programing course because it was a required core for graduation. I remember nothing from it and have never used it.

I do chemistry too and we have to take a manditory buisness management course to graduate, which i think is pointless but apperently there is only one thing im supposed to do after graduation
