I took 2 years of Calculus-based physics- which I never remotely use in my daily practice! Or the year of organic chemistry. Etc. And when I started my internship, on the first day of being a "real" doctor, someone had to show me how to write a prescription!
I was an egineering major before I switched majors and I used to say it just made me well rounded, rather thsn being a waste, but now I know what all those science and math courses were actaully for - raising my DS!!! I really wish I had done astrophysics, cause I am doing it now.

I actually find it super enjoyable to learn this way as I hunt for interesting books and toys for him. And it also makes me comfortable that it will be awhile before he knows more than I do in some subjects (although not as long as I would have thought!!!)
