A course I took in high school, that I took because everyone said it was a "bird course," turned out to be the most useful in real life: typing.

I took basket weaving so that's how I type. /s

I took typing because it was practical and computers were the future. I still have a few bad habits since the 80s but I'm not too bad. I don't know how people who haven't learned the proper way get by. Also, I put crazy glue bigger bumps on my F and J keys and a few others to guide me better.

I always have crazy glue bumps on my keyboards too. And I use sharpies to highlight some keys like parentheses, apostrophe, and a few others. Some hunt and peck typists are amazingly fast though.

Ah, highlighters would have been a great idea. Should have thought of that.
