So I am applying for jobs and there is this company i stumbled upon...in their job application they literally ask you for your grades in school. They require you have a Bachelors degree btw. So what the fuck? And they also require you to justify why your grades are low if they are low. Bitch I am in my mid 20s with a degree, why tf my school grades matter? it is called "Canonical" and you can see the application on their website btw. Fucking idiots.

I guess that's a valid way to read their question, but why just that class? Why single out language studies specifically, as opposed to mathematics, history, the sciences, etc? And we're still several layers deep in the rabbit hole asking those questions, when we have no good answer for why any of the high school classes are relevant to employment.
