Apparently, Algebra II is one of the best predictors of a student’s success in college and beyond. (You know, that great beyond where you actually have to get a job?) Several studies show that people who have made it through Algebra II tend to do better in college and end up in higher-paying careers.
Now, nobody’s going to say that algebra is easy, but although it may be the basis of rocket science, it is not, in fact, rocket science. And once you learn it the first time, you don’t really have to learn it again.
We’re willing to bet that students who spend a little time learning the basics of personal finance also tend to end up in those higher-paying careers. So unless you want to be this guy, maybe it’s time to hit the books.
Books? Worry not – you can learn your maths and watch videos on the Internet at the same time!
