As much as I like using cursive, it's not a necessary writing style and wasn't taught to me in elementary. I'm 32, so it's been out of the curriculum here for quite some time.

If you're going to write, by hand multiple essays in a blue book/exam format throughout a 4-10 year post high school period. You need cursive. It's faster, easier on the wrist and fingers and easier to read.
