Useful to everyday life:

Econ 101 - Micro
Econ 102 - Macro
Rhetoric
Logic (probably take before rhetoric)
History of the Middle East, really any histories stick with you

Useful is different than interesting I think. None of my electives were "useful" for my career or real life. Interesting? Meh I went to a private engineering school, they didn't offer much besides random BS like history, english stuff... etc.

I'd loved to have taken a music theory class though. Could have been really cool.

I'd loved to have taken a music theory class though. Could have been really cool.

I took a Music appreciation class that was very fun. Didn't hurt that the teacher was cute and flirted with me nonstop. One of the projects for the class was a comparative essay on the difference between two seperate versions of a song. I did a 4 page paper on the difference between the studio version of Metallica's Ride the Lightning Call of the Ktulu and the S&M version with the accompanying symphony.

She pulled me aside after the project and thanked me for the song choice. It was a nice changeup from the pop/rap/classical stuff that most people did.

You can't really go wrong with a few communication classes. (Public speaking, small group, debate (involves public speaking), etc.)

Big difference in Useful and Interesting/educating.

Not necessarily. It depends on your warrants.

To me ANYTHING which educates is good/useful as well as interesting.
