Sodomy non sapiens

A friend of mine has a daughter at school and is wondering whether they should take Latin - whether they would find it actually useful later on for other subjects.  They think that it would be useful for science, and also for wanting to be a doctor or a vet.

Anyone got any opinions on this?

That's pretty much what I was about to say, too. I certainly find my smattering of Latin (and Greek) useful when trying to decipher scientific writing covering unfamiliar territory (mainly in biology).
