History? Why do we need to take a class about it?

Okay, i'm planning to become a veterinarian or a doctor, something in the medical field. Okay, my career path has nothing to do with history! why are students forced to learn things that they don't need to know for their own future? I mean, take history for example. We go through basically our whole school lives learning about our forefathers, our founders, presidents, and other important people that have left their mark in our history. But, in reality, how many people are dedicated to entering a field that deals with history? not very much my friends. Plus, students forget what they have learned after thaat class has ended! Students are prevented from graduating becuase of history classes, which is a total waste of our time. What are we people going to need history for in the future? Do we need history to become a doctor? Do we need history if we become a science teacher? A vet? A lawyer? A pediatrician? A police officer? A firefighter? No! Considering these facts, why are we students forced to suffer through such a burden in our lives? Huh? Do the poeple in power love to witness students suffering through classes this troublesome? I don't think we need to be troubeld so. Do you?
