Is (political) geography even a useful skill?
Okay, it's a nice skill. I mean I'm pretty good at it myself (at least for an American apparently). But I'm just thinking, what careers actually require that you know geopolitics? I mean not even the president necessarily needs to know (Herman Cain reference). Teachers don't count since they're not actually utilizing the skill, they're just teaching it.
Okay, so beyond a travel agent, how useful is this skill really?
