Credit card question

I think people are getting hung up over forced. When you attend high school or college, there are certain courses you have to take in order to get a diploma. If you want the diploma, you take the course so I guess it's forced in the sense it's not an elective, but you're not forced to take it at gunpoint, you can always drop out.

So yeah, even though I was going for an engineering degree, I had to take English literature courses even though that had nothing to do with engineering although they claimed it was for writing skills. But I think I already had those in high school.

I can understand clearly what you wrote, unlike some posts by others, here or elsewhere, so I think that your additional english courses were a very good investment that helps you over a lifetime. There is no more important skill than being able to communicate well. With that, all the rest is gravy.
