Nothing I learned in college has applied to any of my jobs on a consistent basis. I need 2 classes to graduate and have over 15 years experience working in my field and I have to out perform to get a job that doesn't pay as well as the one I could get if I had not been as those two jackasses who are so smart they are going to drop out of college because they already know everything.

My degree is in computer science. However, while most others didn't bother to broaden their educational horizons, I took it upon myself to take extra tech writing and composition classes, as well as public speaking. Although I do use my CS degree in a technical/consulting sense, I do find I use my communication skills quite a lot as well.
One reason to take college course is to learn the "true" versions of American/World histories and politics that are portrayed in a somewhat unicorns and rainbows fashion in High School.
