I Am In College
I always thought college was supposed to prepare us for the real world. And while do learn some important things for the jobs we take, half the stuff we learn, we don't even remember after we graduate.

Maybe they want to see how good and fast people can work under pressure

@Melpomene Like for those of that are required to take economics maybe that helps. Like I just learned about tax brackets, but what about those students that don't need to take econ, how will they now. Or how about the important money-related thing I need to know after I take my two required econ classes. Or with the increasing spam emails being sent, which is spam. I used to think I knew, but with all the increasing amounts I don't know-how. Or how the heck are phone numbers are being solicited to spam callers?

You just learn it by living. You call or show up somewhere and ask for instructions, if you can't find on the internet. Yes, you might feel stupid at the beginning but most of the people will explain it to you and forget about it, they might be even happy they did a good deed. And throughout time, you'll learn
Just accept it that college isn't meant to prepare you for the real world, only for the job that you want to have (sometimes not even that, but you want that degree, don't you?)
