In my country, it's not the matter of what's necessary, it's unfair

In the 12th grade, if you chose the scientific branch, you take all four subjects in science, calculus, computer, the arabic language, english, the islamic religion for muslims and a book about various things, mostly history

If you want to be a doctor for example, you have to get almost full grades in all of them...
I mean, what the hell? I suck in physics, so my entire future will be screwed up on something i won't be having (our physics text book is about electricity and relativity)
Or history, we've been taking history for our entire lives, but why make it a part of something irrelevant?!!
They don't allow us to choose the subjects that we want, so then in college we just build upon them,.. No, you have to take EVERYTHING!!
Same goes for other majors

Most people who choose the scientific branch choose scientific stuff in college, although -and here comes the ridiculous part- they can study history and geology even if they didn't take it in two years

I wanted to study medicine, but it all got fucked up because i suck at arabic!! (Btw, our subjects in school are all in arabic, while in college they're all in english)

I can go on for days on how this system sucks...
