< "When am I EVER going to use this in
the real world?!?"

My Calculus teacher just smiled and admitted that it was a hoop one had to
jump through to get the degree. She closed with this great line: "College
is not a test of knowledge; it's a test of endurance."

I teach Lingo programming to future graphic designers. Lingo will be used by very very few of them, so I hear them complaining all the time. I tell them the logic behind it is the same for every programming language.

School shapes the way we think, it opens up our mind to new ways of seeing the world. It helps us develop mental processes that will be useful in certain areas. It also teaches us how to keep learning after school.
