My area of study at the University of Manchester is currently undecided. For this reason, I decided to create a course that could apply to all majors. Typically, in high school, many teenagers complain that school doesn't teach them what they need to know. Teens learn nothing about taxes and how to pay them, or how a mortgage works, or how to balance a budget. There are many other things that teenagers should know when they enter the real world. To help these people, I would compose a course consisting of all those essential things in life that teenagers don't officially learn. If I could design a course at the University of Manchester, it would be Real Life 101 and it would be split into three parts, covering money, people/relationships and things/stuff. This course would contain many useful things. The first part of this class would be money based. It would go through a salary and the various taxes that are deducted from it. Then, as we look at your paycheck, we'll also look at how to pay your taxes, either individually or through a company. We will then look at various options for housing after graduation. Students would learn exactly how a mortgage works and the difference between it and renting a house. They will also learn what apartments, duplexes, condos, houses, and so on are. Students will learn about real estate and the real estate market. The next thing students would learn would be how to shop and how to use the things they purchase so that they get the most for their money. Students could learn how to use their paychecks appropriately and discover how to use credit cards, student loans, auto loans, and other types of borrowing money. Savings would be the last part of the monetary section of this class. Saving for large purchases, retirement, and children's college is extremely important, and many people have no idea how to do it successfully. Finally, it would cover a budgeting activity, including a job (possibly relevant to a specialization), a mortgage, and loan returns, among other things learned throughout the year, so it covers many different topics such as money, family, and general issues . important things to know. The monetary part would cover things like saving, spending appropriately, and borrowing. The family/relationships part would deal with all sorts of things, from family and friends to marriage, children, old age and death. The other almost miscellaneous part involves things like home care, pet care, and vehicle care. Students would be able to suggest other things they want to learn along the way, in addition to learning what they have already been offered. The course I would create at the University of Manchester would look like this: Real Life
