If you have floating credits, take something that you are interested in learning, not something you think that will help you in the long haul.

I talked my way into a 300 level (non-entry level) Buddhism class because I wanted to learn about it but didn't have the pre-reqs my senior year and loved every minute of it.

I learned about cultures I'll probably never see and ways of thinking that have only improved my ability to reason about complex problems. There's something to be said about learning for learnings sake!

TLDR; Take something you don't know much about, but want to learn about and it'll expand your mind.
