Trust me, it wasn't that I didn't understand the math; it's that I didn't understand school, generally. Huge waste of time, IMHO.

Depends. I like being educated about a range of topics, and I think that having a broad knowledge base helps in all sorts of ways. That said, the education system that I was brought up in didn't really do it for me, although a lot of that had to do with me and my attitude at the time. Didn't get along with too many other kids or teachers, and I was perfectly happy letting them know that.
