Everyone warned me that choosing French literature as one of my undergraduate majors was "worthless" and that I'd never need it in "real life." And to an extent, I agree with those assessments. I did, however, get to spend a semester in Paris so it didn't really matter to me.
But today, at The Corporation, I actually had to use my rusty French skills! I spent about half an hour watching a Parisian news broadcast that aired yesterday and prominently featured The Corporation. Then I had the fine task of summarizing it for my boss and some folks in our media relations team.
Now, who's the sucker for reading Illusions perdues? Oh, wait...
