What you didn't learn at school and wish you had?

Tweet

So we are taught that going to school and finishing a course will get us a better life and future. We are forced to take a set of curriculum for ten to twelve years, learn higher levels of science and maths that at the end of the day just trivial. Undoubtedly, we learned a lot in school but did we really get to apply these learning in real life? With a lot of self-made millionaires who didn't even get to finish anything, is the traditional education still applicable to this day? Correct me if I am wrong, don't we all have been focusing on building at least a self-sufficient and financially stable life from the time we left school? The thing is, twelve years of education (or even after graduating college) we are still squabbling for ways and means on how to achieve this. I wish we were taught as early as possible real life education such as financial literacy, so we know how and where to find financial resources, know how to handle our finances and learn early how to produce real life investment results. Can you relate anything that you wish you learned from school that you wish you had or you can add/ comment on this post. Thanks in advanced for reading.
