“I’m glad I learned about parallelograms in high school instead of how to do my taxes”

“I’m glad I learned about parallelograms in high school instead of how to do my taxes. It comes in so handy during parallelogram season” is a joke that has been printed on many images. How to fill out income tax forms is usually not taught in grade school or in college, but math (parallelograms) is.

Look back on your high school years for a moment. Which subjects do you use most now that you’re an adult in the real world?
