It's understandable that you would need extra classes in the areas you scored the lowest on. This is how we improve all our skills. Economics, in my book, is a more worthy class than "Crafts".
Not in my book. Get lucky with your craft, and you have half a shot at making it white.
Too much focus on economics is diving headfirst into the black, lest it be wholly ineffective

Math isn't difficult, and anyone who claims otherwise is a liar. Same with cooking. "I can't cook!"... they mean "I can't follow directions!"
Better idea than wasting your life studying every nuance of english: Embrace it on the internet. Got the basics? You're lingual mastery should explode plenty rapidly, assuming you've no particular learning disability.
And now, for a religiously inspired melody!

... I messed up. That's an acid-inspired happiness maker. Wonder where all my religious music ran off to

I wouldn't count on it. Artistic expression usually sells for dirt, exceptions being A: it is extraordinary in some way, or B: a producer accidentally happens upon your work and is just drunk enough to consider it gold (if you're Justin Beiber, say).
Regardless, unless they happen to be blessed with luck as well as talent... one will solemnly kiss the sodding corpse of their employability for creativity sayonara. Or spend the rest of their life destitute.

One thing/subject will lead to another, and then another and then some. Eventually I believe you will know enough to function perfectly in a sociaty. So you won't know just one thing.
Let's not give this system too much credit, now... you don't need to have a lick of mathematical understanding to take out the trash at Micky D's.
To function perfectly well in society... mostly follow the rules, and you'll 'make it'. Or don't, and you can still 'survive'. It doesn't require much, and education is, at its best: a bonus.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
