Teach me how to buy health insurance.
***We are actually learning how to do this in my Health Science class but we are only going over basic PPO and HMO for 1 week and then it's over :(
It might sound stupid, but go to smaller schools. I went to a small school back in high school and I took a financial class which qualified as a math course, we learned about all of these things in a semester, even had a few fun projects, hell, we even learned about how the stock market works. Unfortunately the school has become bigger since I went there and the teachers I visited hate it now :P
I did not learn a single thing of those. But what did they teach us? How to run a milk cow farm. Of all the practical knowledge out there they chose this. And I'm am not even from a rural area.
Pythagorean theorem is the easiest thing there is, though. Then there's shit like functions, advanced equations, mathematical proof, mathematical induction...that's some useless crap right there. And I still don't know what taxes are, either.
Well, I actually learned some of these. There are classes you can take (some required) that are provided by my school. You can even take classes for a field of interest and get certified ti work right out of high school!
