I have been asked this question many many times not by average students but by students in the top 2 percentile. I do not blame them for asking this question as they would want to know what they are studying now would be relevant to what they need in the future. As students are bombarded with information, they would want to filiter out the not so important information so that they are efficient in learning.
Well, guess what, now it is not about learning, it is about acquiring knowledge. If you focus on acquiring knowledge, then it may be useful in the future. As Steve Jobs said about connecting the dots......"You cannot connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect the dots looking backwards"
