Well, history is useful so you don't do the same mistakes twice, but History of whitchcraft? give me a brake.

I'm actually a little insulted. I'm taking history so that I can teach social studies. And I took history of witchcraft because you can only take so many courses on normal basic European, Canadian, American, and World War history. I mean, I love history, but 40 courses of that and I'm pretty sure I'd try to kill myself with a spoon.
I don't think you meant to insult anyone or meant anything by it. As you said, english is your second language and usually it's hard to guage what people really mean on a message board. But remember, next time, there are some skills you learn in taking different courses. In history, you learn to do research and that really helps for some jobs not history related. And taking different courses exposes you to new things. So that when you go out, you can have a conversation with someone that's not just about what you studied primarily. You're a better human being.
