Think of the classes we have right now in school. English, math, science, history, probably gym. All these are academic classes but none of these teach us about the hard core facts of life we will have to face. Yes, I agree they are and will be exceptionally helpful someday but they will not teach us about financing, something that will be important in the future. Our parents will not be there to hold our hand. Schools should also include classes about certain jobs that we might find interesting. For example classes about nursing or engineering. I think these classes could help inform us about jobs of our liking.

I think classes help us better handle our money would be great. I for one would love to learn how to invest in my money. Or I could learn how to save it for a rainy day or how to spend it wisely. I think this could be a very helpful class to take advantage of in high school. There are some people whose job it is to help you manage your money but why pay someone for it. I think that would be a waste of your money.

I believe classes that teach us about different jobs can help us students understand them better and give us greater ideas and options for the future. I think this could help better prepare us for the future. I think that with these classes we could discover a job that we are engaged in and be able to learn more about it. Then the student could decide to take that career path if they wanted to. Then with that in mind they have a clearer picture of what kinds of classes to take in college/university.

I think these type of classes would be ideal to take during high school. They could be taken as an elective class. That way the student can have a choice to take it if they want. I think classes like these can help make the rode to our future a little less bumpy.
