Why do we have to take unrelated courses to get to the core courses - I asked that question each of the three times I went back to college. This has been going on for a loooong time. I had to pick my battles, and decided to use my energy for my courses rather than beating my head against a brick wall. I do feel bad for you, though, about having to spend all that money each month, and I still wonder sometimes about why it continues. Is it just because it has 'always been that way'?
