I went to business school, and the only really useful skill I obtained there was 10-finger system on keyboard
I was on accounting and bookkeeping line
but we got typewriting lessons too
I also went to two different - hmm.. "lines" - in Turku University, but I did not see a clear path to any real profession there, so that's why I went to the business college
those "lines" .. I think they call it "majors" but I'm not sure. Anyway, I started with Economics (Keynes and such stuff) major, and soon changed to Computing Science major. Neither of those appealed to me as a sure way to certain profession :P
after I graduated as a pro-accountant, I found out I don't want to sit behind a desk all my life, I want something physical. As being a big strong man I felt like a wimp behind a desk.
and I found out a factory work suits me so very well, fell in love with the job and also with the amount of salary they pay for such an easy job, lol
see, in this factory I work at, the machine is doing all the job, and I just sit and watch that all goes smoothly. Only need to attend the machine when something goes wrong, but I have been doing it for 24 years now and it is my skill to fine-tune the machine so well that nothing almost never goes wrong, and I get to read my books, browse Facebook and PhotoSE with my mobile phone, and do the odd off-the-record job of my own - while the machine does all the work and I get the pay per hour ;)
a perfect job for a wandering mind ;)
@Michael - du är en dansk, men du kan tala Svenska också , ja?
