So, like, irrelevant

A student stops by to explain why he hasn't been doing so well in class lately:

"It's like, you know, I'm in my final year, and I've got all these job offers already for when I graduate, and I'm also looking into postgraduate study as an option, and suddenly undergraduate courses seem so... pointless."

"I can see how it might feel like that. So why exactly are you taking this course, anyway?"

"Because it's a requirement for my major and I can't graduate without it."
