I think I'd like very much to take such a class. I could use some more idea of what I want to do when I grow up, especially since my career choices feel very fluid. The only things I've narrowed it down to are 'something in either languages or biology.'

we kinda do that... we have to take a quiz and stuff to find where we're best suited. lucky for me i've known what i've wanted to do for years, and that's not going to change anytime soon!

The teacher for this class asks all kinds of odd questions Like last week we had questions about bodylanguage and all sorts of other stuff that me as an aspie doesn't know or pay attention to.

Where I live it's required, but I got it over with in summer school. What a waste of time that was. Here it has nothing to do with careers, just "life skills" (i.e. well-meaning platitudes everyone's heard but nobody cares about).
