Things you learned, is it usable in the future?

things we learned is usable in the future, it is correct. now you are a student you can't understand this when you get into maturity or years passes you can understand that all what we studied really is valuable and it gives good help. after marriage if you are not engaged in jobs, you can utilize for your children's studies and you can't engage a person for them to teach. what all you gather and study in this young age really it will help in one or other way in your future life.

At first, we may not appreciate the logic why we are bombarded with so many subjects in school that are not related to the course were taking up. And sure,most of them are not usable when we start focusing on the career we choose. But later on, we will realize that these kind of program was designed to test our hold in our everyday life. We can agree that life is not all about work,or on what you know and your expertise. Its everything under the sun. I remember a history professor once told us engineering students, in the real world, people will not talk only of buildings, houses, bridges or any engineering items,,what if someone asks you about Napoleon bonaparte?

I agree with you 100%, I don't think I learnt all that much other than reading and writing that was any benefit to me, geography, science history all useless to me..I think it is ok to be told things but not have to study them and be tested on them. I have always thought that maybe the first 5 years at school they should concerntrate on reading and writing and a few other things as extras but then I think maybe schools should have options for kids to explore to find where their interest lies, more things that are going to help them once they leave school..let kids find their passion and if they change their minds then they simply go onto something else...just my thoughts.

Not all are usable in the future, We are taking education to have a background of the different fields but does not assure all of these will be usable or re-usable in the future. WHy? there are many jobless people who are educated and these have opted themselves to switch job line or even accept a mismatch job just to have an earnings. That is why now, almost all do rely on online-internet based job. IT does not really need direct and harder requirements, IT is more dependent on one's personal skills and capabilities of the task given. You know, there are tycoon business people who have not finished education due to financial reasons, however, they are able to be successful in their career because they have used their learning from their own life experiences, these are HANDS-ON people, skill type and not more of Theoretical, Besides, a person must used both to have many options in life, It should be balances, for if you rely more on theoretical aspect of learning, you will always need to take an up-grade courses just to be able to adapt in the work environment. Happy lotting

I remember hearing that only about somewhere about 10 to 35 or 40 percent of what you learn in school, is going to be used later. Of course it is dependent on the person of what 10 to about 35 or 40 percent that is going to be used. Yet, there is a lot of times where we learn many things, that we are never going to use the moment when leave that class. That is just the nature of school. It's important but a lot of it does seem like a horrific waste of time and energy. There are just many times where we have all of this knowledge jammed in the very back of our memories, that will never be called upon. It gets shoved further and further back. Of course, most of the useful things what we learn are outside the confines of formal education. Still most of everything we learned is a waste, it just depends on where you go what parts of it is a waste.

Are you a high school student? Because I was like this when I was in high school. As of this moment they're not important to us but then they can help us in deciding what course are we going to take in the near future. Just enjoy learning!

I used to wonder the same thing that why do we have to learn so many different things in the world, that too in detail, when in the end only 5-6% of it is actually used by us in our future. Later, I slowly realized that if we had not been exposed to so many topics we would not have the slightest idea about what this world is made of. It is also beneficial for a child to be familiarized with all possible subjects in this world so that he/she can easily decide which one attracts his/her attention more. I was attracted by maths, logic & science. Thus, I decided to set my future in science and then finally into IT Engineer and I love my job. But now I think the world is changing, there are many more things to learn along with our usual subjects like history, geography, civics, economics, maths etc. We should have a subject called "art of living" which should teach us the value of life, why were we born, what should we follow, what is good and what is bad? All these small small topics should be covered from a very young age for a better and complete development of a child.

When we are in high school, college, and even out in the work place, there is no way for any of us to know what skills and knowledge we will need in the future. Of course there are going to be things that we learn that we will never use. However, the things that I might not need to know and use are not necessarily the things that you do not need to know and will not have to use - and our perspective fields of work really do not have much impact on this, in my opinion. I mean, when you start to get up into the higher levels of study and information, then of course the advanced studies are going to be different and more specialized. However, having a good foundation of knowledge in a lot of different areas is always a good thing, because it gives us options that we might not otherwise have not to mention that situations might arise in our lives that require knowledge that we never thought we would need.

I thought about the same thing as you did since i was a student.But now i realize that there is some indeed i can applied in my life but some others are not.So,we should practice more and gain our life experience,that would be the most usable and good for us.

As for me, I do use the higher mathematics. I do believe they are quite usable in my line of work. But to be honest, I often use the basic ones and I only sometimes use the hardcore ones. But I think, in research and development and those that are into innovative and emerging industries, such complex mathematics are really needed. It really depends on the career path that you will follow. That is why choosing your career path in college is a critical aspect of life.

That is exaclty my concerns. Infact, there is so little that we learned that we use as part of daily lives. I wonder why can't we have shorter curriculum and specific ones.

not all the lessons in the school are applicable in some jobs. i remember a friend saying "why is there algebra when there is no "X" and "y" in the figures he will work on.

The only things I've continued to use after leaving high school were writing, English, rather basic math, and maybe a touch of geography. Sometimes I find use in more complex things if I care to engage someone in conversation where I need to prove a point to them with as much rationale as I can, but that's only if the subject breaches it. Actually, wait. I had a personal finance class which pretty much taught how to do things in the real world, and I'm still using tactics I was taught in that class to this day.
