These days, everyone seems to be questioning the value of our college degrees. And by “everyone,” we mean our parents. The way we see it, the problem isn’t the degree itself, but rather the types of classes being offered to the young, malleable minds at institutions of so-called higher learning. Students today just want to learn some relevant skills, like how to break up with someone using only emojis or how to recover from a hangover without consuming any carbs. Sure, an internship might help teach these kids a thing or two about how to send a fax to the regional billing department in Tacoma, but that barely fills one line on a résumé. We thought about the kinds of skills we would have wanted to learn in college, and we came up with a list of courses that probably would have changed our lives:
