This is the season for graduations and with every graduation there are students who are wondering what to do next. Well, if you are adventurous enough, here are a few suggestions:
I ran across an interesting article the other day about some of the weirdest courses taught at colleges. Some of these included: “UFO’s In American Society”, “Maple Syrup” Learning to Speak Elvish” (as in elves, not Elvis), and believe it or not “Underwater Basket Weaving”.  
Doesn’t that just make you so mad? Doesn’t it make you want to go out and protest in the streets? Not because people are paying good money for these classes, but because back in the day, we had to take things like English and Calculus. Boring. If we could have taken things like Underwater Basket Weaving, our lives could have been so much better.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. One college offers a course called “Tightwaddery,” or “The Good Life On A Dollar A Day.”  A class for tightwads, it teaches everybody how to be skinflints, cheapskates and money-grubbers. I believe it’s taught by Scrooge McDuck, but my grandpa could have taught it. He took tightwaddery to a new level.
Another class is “Streetfighting Mathematics.” It teaches students how to measure the velocity of a punch and other ways to analyze fighting with math, just in case you want to use your higher math skills to bet on a boxing match.
And another class, offered by MIT, is “Furniture Making.” This is very generous and compassionate of MIT. Lots of people aren’t even smart enough to get in to this prestigious college, and some of the ones who do can’t hack it.  But for those who get in but can’t keep up, this class gives them something to show for their thousands of dollars.  They can say “I went to MIT. I can’t build nuclear rockets, but I make a mean rocking chair.”
So you see that a college education doesn’t have to be all about reality. You can learn so many useful things if you stay away from Math, Science and other boring subjects. And as long as people are paying good money for things like this, the fun will never end.
