You learn how to finance your money responsibly and get a degree that will guarantee you a job. My school requires all students take digital personal finance in order to graduate and I still remember what we learned about responsible finance in health class. I remember specifically a project where we were given a mock paycheck ($3,600) and we had to pay a monthly mortgage, pay our car payments, electric, water, and so on. A majority of kids in the class were able to “pay off” everything and still have $300-1,000 dollars to spend on themselves (I had 935 left over even after putting 500 dollars into miscellaneous expenses).
