#I estimate that 80% of the analysts at my company have degrees unrelated to analytics in any way

getting a degree in the thing that has literally been your job for the past five years is weird because classes usually fall into one of three categories:

I have never in the half-decade that I have been a data analyst used trigonometry and literally no other data analyst that I know has used trigonometry at work why are you forcing your trigonometry down my throat?

Oh, yeah, I learned the contents of this class approximately three years ago and thus will not be using the book for any of my assignments. All sources will be backward engineered into my assignments from what I know to be true from firsthand experience.

This class is technically helpful I guess but also just feels like common sense to me and the fact that I have to write pages and pages on this very basic topic that I learned about through my job and the fact that there is no way to count work experience for credit is slowly killing me and taking away my desire to even try to get an A in this dumb class.

Anyway, my current class falls into category 3 and I am fighting my brain every step of the way to just pass this class because I find it so dreadfully boring and pointless hooray
