A man was out walking in the dessert when a voice said to him “Pick up some pebbles and put them in your pocket, and tomorrow you will be both happy and sad.
The man obeyed. He stooped down and picked up a handful of pebbles and put them in his pocket. The next morning he reached into his pocket and found diamonds and rubies and emeralds. And he was both happy and sad. Happy he had taken some, sad that he hadn’t taken more.
And so it is with education.
Because understanding chemistry helps you understand the world around you. When you study chemistry, you understand something about how things work. Chemistry isn't secret knowledge. It is the reason why oil and water do not mix or how soap cleans your hands. When you know some chemistry, you can make knowledgeable choices and decisions about everyday products that you use.
Magicians do not have magical powers, they just know more science (and chemistry) than you do!!!
BUT REALLY - "Why do we have to learn this? I am not going to use it in my future anyways!"
Yes, most of what you will learn in chemistry will not be applied directly in your future. However, it is the logical thinking in the context of science that is useful for your entire life! You need to learn about how to figure out the path from point A to point E requiring you to going through B, C, and D. If you are hired after you join the workforce, your boss will only tell you "We are here and we want to get there. Think about how to get there." If you are not capable of thinking the solution, don't expect to work at that job for a long time. It is the logical thinking and problem solving skills that you need the most. It is the knowledge of using available tools and knowledge to solve a problem.
