How would you judge whether a course was useful to society?

I suppose a combination of how important that job is and how difficult it
is to do. Any idiot can flip burgers but only a few people are smart enough
to do say electronic engineering. However there are no doubt far more jobs and
job vacancies in the former than the latter but the latter role will make a
much bigger impact on society in the long run.
