Wasting?!

You my friend are a philistine!

Go study at a technical institute (I went to Stevens in Hoboken -  
briefly!), they 'dismiss' non-technical classes like you do. I think  
the English department head was part-time, non-tenured.

When I got my BA, I had to have a conversation for 60 minutes with a  
college professor on ONE topic (choosen by me, related to my major)  
before I could graduate. I thought that was a fine way to test  
potential graduates, it was pass/fail, no grade.
