they can take a class that only teaches about climbing trees.</span> <span data-start-time='9938' data-end-time='17583'>That class is taught at Cornell University in the American state of New York.</span> <span data-start-time='17583' data-end-time='26729'>But it is not the most unusual subject taught by a college or university in the United States.</span> <span data-start-time='26729' data-end-time='37646'>The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, offers a class on what it calls the mathematics of street-fighting.</span> <span data-start-time='37646' data-end-time='46667'>And Santa Clara University in California has a program called “The Joy of Garbage.”</span> <span data-start-time='46667' data-end-time='58708'>However, classes like these might

ready those students were to enter the professional world in 2015.</span> <span data-start-time='96708' data-end-time='105250'>The survey found large differences between the thinking of the students and the employers.</span> <span data-start-time='105250' data-end-time='114729'>Many of the differences were related to skills both students and employers believe are necessary.</span> </p></div><div
