I had such high test scores that I actually tested out of needing to take college level English classes. When I go to apply to graduate I was told that I didn’t have enough credits and I explained that’s because I didn’t need to take English. I was then informed you still need a certain amount of credits to graduate so while I didn’t need to take English I needed to take something. I was forced to take a bowling class over the weekends to make up the credits in time in order to graduate. You pay for each credit a class is worth so I felt like that was such a waste of money.

unironically a more diverse education as a result

Not necessarily more useful, but being able to focus on non-essential classwork IS the point

Sucks in terms of money but sometimes those classes can provide unique experiences that can lead to different outcomes in the workforce
