(personal finances, too) I graduated knowing little about the real world. Income taxes, budgeting, different pay for different jobs, what things cost, how to register, how to vote...nothing! Unfortunately for me, I had a mom who didn't know anything about those things, either. (no dad)

Thank goodness I had an interest in politics at an early age, and register & vote early on.
