What are the five essential college courses?

<p>For me it is:
-Personal/practical finance course. Many college students don’t even know how to balance a check book or pay bills. You should take at least an intro class to both this and other financial necessities- stocks, bonds, IRAs, etc.
-Foreign language- particularly something more practical like Spanish, German, or Mandarin- depending on what type of work you want to go into. It is ridiculously that we don’t learn multiple languages like the rest of the world.
-Writing class. You would think that college students would know how to formulate a basic research paper or be able to put their projects into written format, but sadly this is often not the case. Writing skills are critical to almost every non-manual labor job.
-Logic class. Really helpful no matter what field you are going into.
-In-depth American Government class. I cannot tell you how many college-aged people I know still believe that the president makes laws. Many haven’t a clue what Congress does. That is very sad because this is something that affects their daily lives.</p>
