The subjects you are being taught are good to learn and very beneficial to you. I would even consider going on to higher education and refining your skills with a college education. I don't see any downside to an education whatsoever . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in about 1956. I learned type setting, a skill that actually landed me a job in my younger days, as the firm I was interviewing at had an old Ben Franklin printing press and no one knew how to use it. I mentioned that I knew how to set type and actually use such a press. And so I got the job, completely unrelated to printing and type setting itself, except that I could save the company some money when they needed to run some "special" invitations and announcements. Even the sillier things learned at school expand the horizon of opportunities to come. Little did I know when I was attending college at night for several years after each day's work, and in the process taking some basic business law classes that had me going into law libraries to learn how to research case law, then standing before professors and classes making my case, that I would later spend seven years in legal battles over business issues. The college class experience helped immensely in securing proper representation and in getting that representation to dig in and do their job of representing my interests well. Now accounting, well that is a bore a total bore, but without an understanding learned at school there is only financial disaster awaiting. School? I can't say the word here I suppose, but it is one, yet it is a truly a necessary one too! Now if it could have only been fun, eh? School may not be all that great except for one thing; it is the practice of hard discipline that trains one how to learn. How to learn is the skill absolutely needed once one finally decides they want to know something about anything, anything at all.

We're encouraged to learn and advance so these gifts may be used in our lives as Christians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what Jesus Himiself said, for instance, not just about being educated, but about everything He Spoke About - His Word is unique in the world, not followed nor listened to by 95% of the people.
