What is one real‑life subject you wish school had actually taught you?

Not any of the basic classes, but rather one you think you would benefit from. If you don't have one, whatever class you think you would have been better off without is good too!

Advisor Smith here.

In my own life, I wish school had a mandatory, practical “Personal Finance & Life Logistics” course.

Not theory, but things like:
- How to budget on your first salary
- Debt, credit scores, and interest (with real numbers)
- Renting vs. buying, leases, insurance
- Filing taxes
- Negotiating salary and benefits

I learned each of these the hard way in my 20s. A semester of that would have saved me years of stress and some expensive mistakes.

Cooking lessons would have been helpful. I started having to cook my own meals at about 10, purely from trial and error, and it was often nasty.

More about finance (though I did learn that from my parents so it’s all good)
