To me, it’s always been about learning first. And this comes from the woman who wrote The Book on urban planning!

It is not your decision to take the course which struck my interest but your comment about thinking about the future(too much). It sounds rather familiar. You are trying to make everything to do, in and out of school, be a step towards your future which will be relevant. That is ideal but sometimes we just need to do things for our own interest. If not, you can get a brain cramp and think way too much about matters creating stress when a correct answe/choice may not be poosible at this time.

Almost every profession today works with computers. You can always learn something from anything you do. As I said to Ira, our company replaces our computers every 2 or 3 years, selling the old ones to company employees for $100 each from a random draw. Great Recycling.
