I've never used Algebra

It's been many many years since I struggled through Algebra, Science and History classes but I remember asking if we would ever use that information again.  Honestly, the answer is no.  I enjoyed and excelled at English and writing then I started a career in radio where we write to read.  We also write for pronunciation so we don't necessarily have to spell either.  Plus, we have spell check on our computers and phones to prevent a perception of illiteracy.  The MOST valuable class I took in high school was Mrs. Young's typing class--no pecking at the key board for me.  Honestly, when we were in high school, most of us didn't know what we wanted to be when we grew up and most of that learning was a "just in case" I change my mind and decide to be a Doctor.  My almost seven year old son says he wants to be a scientist, more specifically an "evil" scientist.  I hope there is a market for that some day.  My point is this, wouldn't it be cool if there could be a career predicter for high schoolers to help them avoid the torture of those classes and knowledge that they really won't need in the future?  That would relieve a lot of stress for students, parents and teachers.
