There is no such thing as general studies. General studies is a waste of time. Knowledge is not general, it is specific. And nothing to do with getting on.
But remember, open quotation marks, "All knowledge is precious whether or not it serves the slightest human use", close quotation marks.

I am reading Alan Bennett’s The History Boys now, having watched the film with Richard Griffiths more times than I can remember. I just came across this piece written by James Corden about his time working with Richard Griffiths.
“He became the ninth History Boy: we nicknamed him Rizzo, and he was one of us.”
