This can come anywhere from post HS, In college you learned too late, after College, after finding a job etc.
A few things I wish I was taught and few of these things should be mandatory in school.
Instead of learning Trig and other Math that many kids wouldn't have to do in life unless working with Science or going to school for Carpentry or architect or something similar they should've been teaching kids how to write and balance a check book. Some might debate that should be something parents should do but I feel our public education system lets us down too often and tries to throw blame on parents and others on stuff that should be taught in school. There should be a math class mandatory in HS about finances, proper credit card use etc. Stuff that gets students ready for college. This would've been solid for me back in school.
Connecting with others and taking great opportunities when they present themselves in front of you in the job especially hire ups. I feel like I do this already but got a later start. I didn't also keep up with some co workers who got promotions who may have been able to help my current situation. I work part time but I met my co workers husband who ran another store who offered me full time and hours that I should've taken. I didn't do to school and wished I did knowing I wasn't doing great in college. The next time they offered an ASD of mine went around asking people but I was still in school. What I should've done at the time was taken the full time, dropped out of college and then returned the following semester doing night classes or something. At the very least work full time and continue to work on my Bachelors degree.
Figuring out I wasn't going to do anything in history. Transfer to a trade school instead as I probably would've done a lot better.
Learning more to invest in my future and putting myself in a better position.
Learning to Drive. I've never really needed to drive as school work and home were all so close. I live in an area of the Philly Suburbs called the Main Line. It's a bunch of towns connected to the Philly SEPTA Train system that goes up to King of Prussia (Largest US Mall), Bucks and Montgomery Counties where some of the folks better off are. It goes far out to Media and other little towns that many who work in the city can easily get on a train and get into Center City where a lot of offices and business are. So I've always had public transit to and from my job, work and Home and if needed into the city. However I know I'm ripping myself from other oppurtunities a license would afford me.
Being able to cook more meals. I can do easy stuff like Grilled cheese, eggs etc. Learned how to fry eggplant too and cook spaghetti. But I want to learn to do more.
