What is the point of taking classes to get a degree I will never use?

The point of anything is what you define it as. If you are truly 100% certain that you will not use the degree ever in your future and that therefore makes it obsolete, then it certainly sounds like there is no point. You have options and the freedom to seek those options. Your well-being is how you define it to be! If you do not want to take a class, speak with soemone at your school to see if you can change degrees or how you can get on the track you want to be on. Good luck!

The point in taking classes for a degree you will never use can be helpful, because it goes on your transcripts. Depending on what you take you are more likely to get accepted into colleges, specific programs, and jobs.

The point of taking classes to get a degree that you may not ever use is by even if it isn't beneficial, you may have more knowledge and understandings than people who don't go to college or school at all and missed the important information to help them later in the future like you do.

It can help enhance one's learning about different aspects that aren't necessarily to do with one's direct degree. I take a population health paper which ties in well with my double degree in marketing and psychology as it gives more insight into both topics. It also allows me to have a different perspective on both marketing and psychology. Psychology ties in with population health quite well as it has to do with the health of those in the population, and how different people experience different emotions/circumstances. Aside from that, its really fun to take a paper outside of your degree as you get to look into parts of university that isn't necessarily what you're looking at doing.

It is important as it helps to build your personality and your resume. It will help in shaping your character. It helps a person in becoming a better person. It gives a whole new perspective as to looking forward to life. It makes us more proficient with our profile and help us in different ways than we think. I'll share a personal story. I majored in Finance, yet somehow I ended up teaching. It does help a lot, didn't get a 9 to 5 job, as my parents expected. But I'm successful and help kids with finance advices as well.
