So I've recently gone back to school to for social service work with intention of working in a youth shelter and I've really started to resent having to take an elective.

Basically the elective I'm in has no relation to the other stuff I'm taking and is fully asynchronous, so no class or lectures only readings and assignments. For me that's almost impossible because I have ADHD and some pretty serious executive dysfunction. It doesn't help that the elective has a way bigger workload.

Just wanna know if I'm not alone in feeling like this.

    I think the opposite, honestly. If I'm going to go for a degree in something like history, communications, or politics, literally none of these fields will ever need me to take a calculus course or a computer programming course. Why the fuck should my ability to graduate have been dependent on my ability to be a code monkey?

      fuck I hated maths courses but I was also determined to graduate with a BS rather than a BA because it's funnier, so I suffered

        I have a bachelor's in library science, which is actually just a bachelor's in needing a master's degree to do anything with it.

          Love my Bullshit in Anthropology, I've used it so much I don't think I could even find my diploma if my life depended on it.
