How Important is Academics?

In my opinion, academics determines where and what you will be in the future. Of course we all think that math, history, english and science are boring, and useless, and just a complete waste of time. No one wants a job, we all prefer a career, and almost every career requires one of our major subjects. Think about it, nurses and doctors require science and math, lawyers have to use logic which is a part of english, and the most obvious are teachers who need all four subjects. I like to think of academics as something that I won't have to do all my life. Eventually, I'll graduate and academics won't be so important as it was when I was in school. Due to the fact that I am in high school, I try to take school seriously because I need a high school diploma no matter if I decide to go to college or get a job. In junior high school, the motto was "Failure is not an option but an expectation!" I plan to think the same way throughout the journey of my high school. My point is that academics is vital in this lifetime and it is necessary for success.
