The best minor (in my opinion) would be English with a focus on technical writing. I majored in English but work in tech, and find being able to write effective documentation, standards etc. to be a vastly useful skill that many people lack. Believe me, I am not bragging, my writing is usually filled with errors and mistakes and takes multiple edits, but the bones are usually good and after polish shape up nicely from time to time. I blame my sausage like fingers personally...

There can be a healthy middle. Virtual or telecommuting classed by talented leaders can be more effective and inspiring that rote curriculum by sometimes less than exceptional teachers. Like every sector of society there are shitty people doing jobs, teachers included. We need to find a way to augment that somehow.

Radio waves travel at the near speed of light in air (299,700 km/s) compared to vacuum (300,000 km/s). I read that fiber is around 200,000 km/s. Downside is, most of these HFTs strip out protections for faster speed which can leave them open to interference. Another problem can come from GPS spoofing/interference. This could cause way more issues than climate changes.
