I thought my data structures class was useful. A few others were interesting. But other than that, no, Java development was not useful to anyone's daily life.
You've never worked with the US Federal Government. For every software problem the Government has, there is a Java application written to make your life a living hell trying to solve that problem. It's also even odds on said application requiring a version of Java which is about a decade old and it just mysteriously breaks with anything newer.
I think that was supposed to be my daily life. Not sure what happened between brain and fingers there. Java development was probably useful to some of my classmates.
