Every now and then the useless subjects come in handy when answering pub quiz questions

Religious Education (RE) or as it was then Religious Instruction (RI), apart from being a waste subject, 2 or 3 periods of it a week at secondary school as i recall.  Indeed, it almost led to my expulsion from school, as Mrs Brown the RI teacher regularly sent me to the head - another god botherer - to also attempt to bully in the ideas of (christian) religion[!]

However, it did contribute to me becoming an atheist, and perhaps more importantly a fully paid up member of the rebel and activist class, at an early age, views which i have continued to hold to this day.  So perhaps not a complete waste.

Stop for a moment to consider if you had been taught only the subjects that were going to be of use to you. Firstly,you would have had to decide on your career at age 5.  Secondly, there would not have been sufficient positions for all the soccer pundits    . Thirdly, you would be so narrow minded that you would only be able to talk boringly to others in the same job ( have you ever been out for a pint with a bunch of accountants ? Sorry OPO ).  Fortunately, you had the benefit of education rather than training.
