But why do I have to learn useless stuff like Chemistry, Geometry, and Algebra, if all I plan to do is either be a priest or work in the field of Meteorology?

I agree. School should teach life skills for a job more, not academics, especially if the person is going to work as a laborer, rather than a job needing academics and diploma

Um.

But I don't think I'll need to find the square root of 1,317 in order to predict weather. Hell, I don't even need to know the gas laws to predict weather, or to storm chase

Thermodynamics doesn't apply to weather?

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Meteorology requires an understanding of chemistry and maths.

Plenty of religious leaders have been scholars too.

Was making a thing and then the shitty thing that is transmitting the Internet signal in the room I'm in just fucks up (Not the main modem, so it mostly took switching it on and off again for my end, the rooms outside that are closer tot he main modem rarely have to restart the modem), so a blurb that I wrote in the thing is just gone now.

Well, I know that meteorology requires an understanding of those two, however, and correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think meteorologists need to know the square roots of giant numbers to predict the weather. Chenistry makes sense, but I just hate it a bunch. Physics is something I love, though, so I could be a physicist.

As for the religious leaders being scholars, I already knew that, which is why St. Albert the Great is my confirmation saint. He is the patron saint of sciences. Though, he didn't work in meteorology. Just chemistry, biology, physics, and a few other things.
