I think it's also important to be familiar with statistics about such things as credit card debt, college loan debt, and market reasearch on job availability in the field of study a student wishes to pursue, as well as divorce rates of people who are in various stages of debt (Money fights are listed as the #1 predictor for divorce)
Agreed. A quick web search shows many resources for teaching kids about credit and loans. The most timely market research on job availability in a field of study may be the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook (
OOH). The "Big Future" feature of the College Board also provides information about
majors and careers.
