Amongst the things I'm often excited to tell Jenny I learned in Seminary are many trivial Bible facts, or scholarly opinions, that will be of little use to me when I pastor. This lead Jenny to ask me "Do you find yourself learning lots of trivial facts that won't help you in the future, or do you learn more worthwhile things?"
Her questioned spawned about an hour long discussion of many of the worthwhile things I have already learned this semester, in one class. It was a great reminder that I'm properly preparing for my future.
It also pinpointed (to me) that some of my classes are a waste of my time. Oh well. They are required and i'll make it through. Fortunately, most of my classes are helping me to be a better person now, and preparing me to be a more effective pastor in the future.

I would say I use about 30% of my seminary education.
Also I am finding that people really do not care what you know, but how you care for them.
