Would it be beneficial to take business classes for artists who want to sell their own work? I'm thinking about taking classes

I actually HAVE to take business classes at my school. I am getting a BFA in Illustration and I have to take 1 business management classes, 1 art management class, 1 gallery managing class, and 2 portfolio preparation classes. They teach you how to create and accept contracts and how to price your stuff, it's really REALLY important for artists to know how to do their taxes and how to declare their earnings so the IRS (in the US) doesn't come and grab your ass straight to jail.
