Hmm. I didn't get shop OR Home Ec at my school. I got either 3 or 4 years of Latin, though, (don't remember) and I can diagram a sentence like nobody's business!(I know ... like who's going to hire me to do that, right? Nobody ever did, tbh!
)
We had the choice of Latin, Spanish, French, or German. The kids who took Latin were headed for medical and law careers, which I was not. I wanted to take French but my mom insisted I take Spanish. I have to admit that as a southern Californian, Spanish has been much more useful than French. I have spent more time in Spain than France so it was useful there, too.
I wish I had taken Latin, it would have helped me with Church Latin!
