I work in banking. I would be happy to teach a course like this and believe it would be very beneficial. Most get out of high school with no idea how the world works.

I would add that in addition to teaching students about various financial mechanisms, we should also be teaching them how those mechanisms actually work (addressing common misconceptions) and how they could be utilizing them toward securing their own long-term financial wellbeing.
Iād love to get your feedback on a proposed solution to help make this possible.
