There definitely should be a specific class during the high school phase of an education where kids get randomly selected jobs ( with a description of salary and the duties/responsibilities for said job. Plus, the info regarding any additional training and / or any vocational schooling AFTER high school, how many years, what specific schooling/training how and the costs associated). They then would receive their fake salary/income, and they would get the bills that come with living in a home or apartment. Car insurance, health insurance, possible cell phone or any possible cost associated with having kids. Side options of vacations or toys would also be available if they wanted. They would then experience a specific amount of time attempting to survive with their fake salaries for a very good job that required an education. A job that provided middle class income and then an income from no education at all. I strongly feel that if they experienced the hardships from a job that didn't require more school, struggled as if they would in real life all while they compared that job to how much easier life was when they had the good job that they had to go to school for really open their eyes to understand how important a good education really is. This class would probably be the most beneficial knowledge that they received as a child and I know that they would make the necessary and correct decisions that would pave the way for a better future for them.
