Most people try to become useful by learning skills the world has already decided are valuable.
But there may be another path: become exceptionally good at something you’re naturally drawn to, even if it seems “useless,” and let the useful application emerge later.

Maybe the mistake is trying to predict usefulness too early.
Be really good at one “useless” thing. Let society figure out what it’s for.
