“What was the point of learning calculus as I never apply it anywhere?” said my IIT Bombay junior

He seems right. Not only calculus, but fluid dynamics, atomic structure and particle physics are useless. Even things taught in school like trigonometry, mitochondria (yes, I know you remember), or Julius Caesar are all irrelevant. Instead, they should have taught us about personal finance, how to make money, how to do better at the workplace.

Except, the thinking is all wrong

Education is not supposed to teach you how to do a job or how to make money. It is to teach you how to think. Limiting education to the narrow pursuit of making money is the biggest disservice you can do to yourself. This is why I always worry about the obsession with college placement statistics and packages.

Colleges are places to learn and build relationships, not be placement agencies

All the apparently useless stuff taught to you teaches you thinking, problem-solving, curiosity, and mental models. People asked me if my B Tech was wasted after I did my MBA. I usually tell them this.

- By the age of 1, I had “wasted” one year learning how to crawl. I may never crawl again, but did it help me develop the ability to run? Most definitely yes.
- By the age of 11 I had “wasted” two years learning how to cycle. I may hardly ever cycle again, but did it help me develop road sense to drive? Most definitely yes.
- By the age of 21, I had “wasted” four years learning physics. I may rarely read about physics again, but did it help me develop a structured and analytical thought process? Most definitely yes.

Running is very “different” from crawling, in theory. Cycling is very “different” from driving, in theory. Engineering is very “different” from an MBA, in theory. Were they a waste?

Most definitely not.

You will realize one commonality in rich and/or successful people. They know a lot of apparently useless stuff. Einstein was a great violinist. Gates knows way too much about nuclear fusion. Zuckerberg can MMA. This is a feature of success, not a bug. Curiosity and an obsession with learning got them where they are.

Money was simply a by-product.

School, college, and postgrad should all teach you how to think. If you don't know how to think and apply your mind to a variety of situations, you will be boring. That's the definition of a robot.

Instead, try to be all curious like a human
