Yes, there were crap courses here as well that people took just to
get enough credits to get into a university or college but the one
of those I tried out I couldn't hack. I was bored silly..

We had 2 major different course sets in high school.

A 4 year course to grade 12 where you took those technical courses
like auto repair and electronics..

Then there was the 5 year course to grade 13 with more complex maths
and sciences to prep you for University.

Normally you didn't take classes from both of those but I decided
I wanted to and they cursed me trying to sort out a schedule that
would let me do it, but it was worked out in the end..
