Actually being successful in life without having to learn things we don't need to learn.

So I went off for a job interview not long ago and I honestly did not know what to say, I was lost with what I had to do and I was asked to answer questions about giving change back like a little math test and I failed it. After I was thinking why don't I know how to do that? In school we are taught how to solve pythagoreon theorems and find out why y=x. I would like to know why we are learning all of these things we don't need to know like chemistry. If you want to be something that involves chemistry then you can study chemistry on your own. Why not prepare us children for the real world. Because the real world won't stop you out of no where to solve a silly math problem. Teach us what we need in life not what we don't because we refuse to waste time. We'll study what we want to succeed
