I l earned a lot of useless stuff in university.
Since I lived near an Indian Reservation, I l earned a lot about Indian history. I also l earned calculus and the periodic table. None of those things have come back to help myself and others in life. I have never needed to use our Indian history, whip out our special calculator I had to buy for math and think that W stands for tungsten on the periodic table. That information just sits in our brain useless. I would have rather l earned real life skills in university. I am constantly looking up how to repair a dryer since mine breaks all the time. I have to watch videos and study books on doing electrical work. Anytime I have a HVAC malfunction, I have to call someone else to handle this. Why did I not learn these valuable life skills in university? Everyone at some point in time will experience HVAC equipment. Even those renting deal with HVAC repair. In university all of us should think the different kinds of HVAC and how to repair it. I don’t need to think how to install air duct, repair a heat pump or set up heated flooring. I just want to think a basic gist about each and be able to clean our unit effectively, but like with any other skill, those who are talented at it should seek it out on a professional level. The hands on learning is seriously lacking in the university systems. Home repair should be a class that starts as a freshman in high university and doesn’t stop until after you graduate from college.
