Financial literacy is among the most important things we must
learn. So why is it that it is hardly ever taught in schools?
Some courses touch lightly on the subject, but there is no
subject that will show students how to create wealth and manage
their money. Science, history, mathematics, and English are
extremely important to a child’s education. But some might argue
that, as noble as those subjects are, financial literacy should
be valued even more.

My father, for example, is an electrical engineer. He majored in
Science in college and took electrical engineering courses at one
of the leading universities in our country. After graduating and
passing the board exams, he looked for a job in his chosen
profession. He found employment in machines sales for the wood
industry.

While, due to his college education, he was familiar with many of
the components in the machines, but there were several important
parts of the machines he had never even heard about. Thus it is
with financial education. School-to-work programs and career
education are important, but they must include instruction that
is applicable to what students will face in the real world.

There isn’t a single subject in school that teaches how to create
wealth. A particularly inspired instructor might touch on the
subject, but we need to give students exact directions in how to
attain financial freedom. For example a popular real estate
technique of flipping a house. Some flippers get carried away
and remodel the entire house, other simply paint and landscape to
increase value. The key is to know the numbers.

The advice our forefathers gave us is only a starting point. “Go
to school. Study hard. Get good grades, and find a good job”
does not apply to those who want to create and keep wealth. In
this case, knowledge IS power. Seek knowledge in and out of the
classroom. This applies doubly for financial education. The
more updated you are, the better your chances of making more
money.
