Oh, this will never happen. That would mean that the public school system would have to teach a useful life skill before allowing kids to graduate. The college loan system alone won't allow this to happen.

From the post: "DENVER — Northfield High School seniors Oliver Deines and Krish Vipani think too many of their peers are leaving high school without some basic financial knowledge. Now they’re on a mission to make financial literacy a graduation requirement in Colorado.

“We saw that kids didn't know how to get a mortgage, they didn't know what a loan was, they didn't know how to make car payments, and that's all stuff that's going to go with you for the rest of your life,” Deines said."

Exactly. I've always thought that as a graduation requirement you should be able to create and understand a budget, understand how loans and interest work, have basic "home" skills like cooking, mending, basic construction skills..etc.

But no. They think that every single kid needs to learn how to program. Mostly just so programmers become so ubiquitous that you can pay minimum wage for skilled work.
