Gah! I mean, I took a couple weeks of a business math, that actually made sense, and it went over tax forms and such, but at this point in time, it's not exactly fresh on my mind. And then there's the pressure to get a job recently, and knowing that in the current economy, it's often a chance in a million of actually getting a job because of how many other people are looking for jobs as well...Sochitelya wrote:Not a word of a lie, I was 20 before I learned how to write a cheque, and I had to ask my parents how.

Things I Never Learned In High School:
How to do taxes
What taxes are
How to vote
What political parties are
How to write a resume/cover letter/anything related to getting a job
How to write a check/balance a check book
Anything to do with banking
How to do loans for college
How to jump start a car or other basic emergency things
How to buy a car or house
...But I’m so glad I know the fucking pythagorean theorem
As someone who's turning legal in a couple weeks, I feel this is incredibly accurate. Who wants to begin their adult life wondering what the hell they're supposed to do about taxes, how the hell the banking system works, whether it's smart to get a loan or not... These are the things on my mind instead of celebrating the fact that I'm going to begin life...

I agree. Often I think there should be a required class for Senior year that teaches you the basics of "Okay, you're parents aren't doing everything for you now. What do you do?"HellFyre wrote:Things I Never Learned In High School:

I know... I've had a lot of people try to be nice to me just because they know I'll do something in return for them if they're nice in a certain way... etc.?Silverstar44 wrote:Thanks, EBeard. it just hurts my feelings.EternalFox wrote:Silverstar44 wrote:Spoiler
