grade 10 elective courses

which 3 of these 4 should i take for a better future?
-instrumental band
-mezz (weight training)
-french
-communications technology (learning how to use photoshop, etc)
Edit: leaning to dropping a gym course in grade 10 and taking one in grade 11. is that a good choice?

Chinese, the economy of the world is slowly shifting to China. If you wanna do well in busniess ( I suck at spelling), then you should learn Chinese. If not, Take finnish for all I know.

I took Comm. Tech. I liked it.

I'd say Tech, Band and French.

You could speak complete gibberish to me and I would probably not know the difference. Just use a moderately French accent

In BC it's only required up to Grade 8. But I chose to take it anyways because I really don't want to take on another language.

Kind of unrelated but my ultimate coach tells me "When you get to 25, you'll regret every squat, benchpress, pushup, and situp you didn't do". Sports isn't just about competition, it's about health as well. So I wouldn't write off weight training as useless.

Band>French>Comm Tech>Mezz. Personally I used my elective spot for BC Calc so i wouldn't really know o.o

If you're not going to play an instrument in college, drop band and take the other three. I'd suggest Spanish over French though, but whatever

Weight training, band, french, communications tech. In order of best to not the best.

EDIT: Sounds to me like a lot of people here are underestimating the value of weight training (understandable, given the demographic). In the end, the choice is still yours, but I strongly suggest that you take this weight training course. It will benefit you in the long term. Plus, you will get stronger and you can ask people if they even lift.
